What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used a larger portion of the transfer to built a spacious iron roofed house because the one I had wasn't enough. I also paid my son in high school fee.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that my property are safe even if I'm far from home. People used to pick my items from the house when not home because of the state of my house but since I established a better one, all my belonging are safe. Apart from that, I'm now certain that my son will now complete his high school education because I've managed to pay most of his fee.
