What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I spent the whole of it on materials that I will soon be using for the construction of my main house. I have bought a steel door, 3 steel windows, 30 iron sheets and a lorry of sand. My current house is very pathetic and therefore I want change in my home by constructing a better house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I have sufficient peace in my home. This is because I have been interacting with cash and therefore affording even food is no longer such a big challenge. Peace that I have attained accounts for my biggest difference in my daily life.
