What did you spend your third transfer on?
I had previously saved the initial transfer that I received, hence upon receiving the last transfer I added to prior transfers and bought my husband a new motor cycle. This has an asset to our family because it generates income to the family. My children are able to attend school without interruption of fees arrears. We are to feed well thanks to GD.
