I bought two sets of seats at 20,000 KES, I gave 10,000 KES to my son to add to his own so as to construct his house, I bought 3 bags of dry maize at 10,000 KES and spent 9,000 KES on buying kitchen utensils and other house hold needs.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
It used be embarrassing spending with my grown up son in the same house, but he has been able to construct his from the transfer I got. So am very pleased with this.
