How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?
My new plan before receiving transfer was to pay my children's tuitions and build a house. It was very difficult to pay my children's tuitions and owning a house for my family. Paying my children's tuitions and building a house for my family were my primary goals before receiving the transfer.

I spent my recent transfer on building a house for my family and payments of my two children's tuitions.
