What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used to stay in a very squeezed house that could not accommodate me and my family. When I had visitors for a sleep over, I was forced to let them sleep in my neighbour's houses was so squeezed. So, I spent my third my transfer on buying building materials that I used to build a more spacious house. My current house is now three roomed. I also bought sheep for rearing using the remaining amount.

Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now own a better house which does not leak anymore. I am today more peaceful when even when it rains in the middle of the night since I do not have to pack all my items in one corner of the house which does not leak. Thanks to GD.
