"Currently I'm hiring water pump and pipes to irrigate my vegetables, so I am planning to spend the first part of the transfer to buy a water pump and pipes so that I don't spend money on hiring. Secondly, I'm planning to spend another part of the money to start a small shop for my wife to boost our income. Lastly, I intend to use the remaining amount to buy furniture for our house."
