I spent part of my second transfer to buy ten iron sheets as part of materials that I will use to construct a new house, I also paid school fees for my sister in secondary school so that she can successfully be in school and spent another amount to pay school fees for my child in primary school. I have saved another amount in my Mpesa account.
