What did you spend your third transfer on?
I have been saving my transfers, the first, second and when I received my third one, I put them together and spent on a motorcycle that currently generates for me daily income. I have realized that through it, I am able to put food on the table and cater for other needs of my household members that I could not be able to afford when I never had a stable source of income/ job.
