Johnson
received a $465 third payment.
"I spent my transfer in adding building materials which was used in building my new house. I also bought a mattress to replace the one I had which was very old and worn out. I then put some money into savings for any future eventualities. I then spent the rest in boosting my online business where I sell ebooks and dvds."

"Yes a mattress, bedsheets, and a goat! I spent my first transfer on a mattress and bedsheets because I did not have reasonable beddings so I could not spend peaceful sleep, but now I spend peaceful sleep. I also bought a goat to keep my money in that in case I get a quick problem that requires financial attention, I can sell off my goat and solve the problem."
