What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent part of my third transfer on starting a business of selling plastics. Previously, I only had to do odd jobs in people's farms to enable me meet my family needs. When I wake up in the morning, I go to my shop, and not the people's farms. Out of that amount too, I gave my husband some of it that he used to make a fishing boat. With these profits we make, we are able to comfortably take care of our family daily needs.

I invested a portion of the transfer in my tailoring shop and plastic products business. I'm still having some cash at hand which I'm planning to invest in a different business.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I no longer work for people in their respective farms as it used to be since I now have my business running and fend for my family with less ado.
