What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on cementing my house. My children used to get sick because of dust but since I cemented my house they have never been sick. The remaining part of the money I used in the construction of a kitchen. Formerly I used to cook in open air and during rainy times it used to be challenging that is why I opted for a kitchen more than any other thing.
