What did you spend your second transfer on?
I invested my second transfer on leasing a piece of land and farming tomatoes in large scale. I also paid school fees for my niece in secondary school; hoping she will study peacefully and pass her exams.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my life is that in 2-3 months time I will have a good harvest of my tomatoes sell them and say bye bye to poverty. I am looking foward for a good profit from the farm that will change my life completely.Thanks to GD for giving me new life goals.
