What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent a portion of my third transfer on paying my dowry on behalf of my spouse who could not afford such a project. I am so glad that I am currently legally married, something that brought me much shame before. I also renovated my house and fixed permanent doors and windows to enhance security in the home. Finally I paid school fee for my children who showed much interest and dedication in their academics.
