I'm planning to use a portion of the remainig transfer to pay my high school son fee while the rest I'll use to find myself a wife. My wife passed on some years down the line and I haven't menaged to get one due to logistic issue as such, I find it valid to get one because opportunity has prevails itself and soon will have muscles to do it."
