What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on settling school fee arrears for my son who had joined form one with lesser amount than what was expected. It was just a favour the school principal did us by enrolling him in the school with such a small amount of money instead of allowing him stay at home with the good grades he had scored in primary school. Besides that, I purchased construction materials to help me build a better house than what I possess currently.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference I have seen in my daily life is that today I live a very peaceful life with less worries of how to feed the family.
