I spent the whole of my second transfer on buying a second hand motorcycle for my husband which he uses to operate a taxi business.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that my family now gets better daily income from my husband's taxi business, which comfortably caters for the family's daily expenses. Before we received the transfer, he used to hire another person's motorcycle for the same business and the returns were not sufficient for our family expenses.
