What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent a larger potion of my third on paying school fees for my daughter who had joined college. I am happy she was able to join college and taking a catering course. The remaining amount I spent on starting poultry keeping business in large quantity. I thought of starting an income generating activity that will help me sustain my family, I have ceased from burning charcoal which was quite tiring.
