What did you spend your third transfer on?
I was for the idea of buying a land because the land we are in was under so much scrutiny with the family but when the money we had was not enough we thought of just settling in the village and renovate and add some rooms with our second and last transfer, in this case we bought cement to plaster the floor steel windows and steel doors.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my transfer on starting a corn selling business at our local market in Oyugis. I am still saving the rest which I will be using on purchasing a small piece of land to build a new home because we currently live on land that is disputed.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest change in my daily life is that I wake up everyday looking forward to a fruitful day at the market selling my corn to my customers.
