What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent a portion of my third transfer on building materials such as iron sheets, timber, nails and many more that I planned to use in construction of a new house once all my children are around. The house I live in at the moment is very weak following the many years it has served us. It's roof too had worn out with leakages all over which frequently damaged my household items. I am happy that very soon I will be moving out of the house to a new and a better one.
