"I prioritize like that because it's what have been doing for sometime but since it collapsed I have had a hard time so I will reboost it so that it can now be stable and have enough stock and get income from it. I believe with stock I will have good profit. Secondly, I will clear all school fees balance for my children that I have and even clear the remaining years so that they can finish school smoothly and lastly, I may go back to school myself to finish my tailoring course that I started so that I can have enough knowledge to open my own place.
