"I used the transfer to buy additional iron sheets and windows as the plan is to build myself a nicer house. I currently live in a very tiny grass thatched house that is very inconducive for my large family. While I saved a portion of the transfer for the actual construction after the rains, I had to use up some of it and buy beddings, kitchen utensils, and food every now and again."
