What did you spend your second transfer on?
I received my second transfer when I was still living with my parents- I never had my own home and therefore when I received it, I built and moved to my home, where I enjoy most the freedom I earlier craved for-I am free to develop!

The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, I live in my own home where I enjoy autonomy to authority to develop-It is a great experience living in my own home. It is not the same as before when I shared the same compound with my parents-I was not free at all!
