"I am planning to spend my transfer on buying items that I lack in my house like chairs, a table and a bed. I will spend part of the transfer to build a bigger house as the one I stay in is very small and I will also buy a cow and a goat so that I can keep them for milk and meat. I will use the remaining amount to start a small business of selling clothes so that I can support my family using the income that the business will generate."
