What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on purchasing a water pump given that we are farmers and every time we needed to irrigate our tomato farm, we had to borrow the water pump which, if we do not find, I carry the water on my head which was tiring and time-consuming. Our farm did so well and the profits enabled us build a three roomed, spacious house and move out from the squeezed two house we owned before.
