"I have not taken my money out yet, but I have planned to buy building materials to renovate my current house from thatch to zinc. Whenever it rains heavily, the storm removes the thatch and plastic from my house leaving it roofless; this makes my house flooded and makes me look simple and common amongst my friends. Once I complete buying the three bundles of zinc and three packs of nails using my third transfer, I will add them to the previous materials I bought from my other transfers and start my project. This will make me happy and give me respect."
