What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used a portion of the transfer to pay my son in collage fee. Purchased building materials (iron sheets, nails, and timber) which I'll use to build a new house. I also purchased foodstuffs for family consumption.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I feel much composed seeing my son back to school after staying home for some good months due to lack of fee. Besides, my desire of owning a larger house is at the verge of being realized since I managed to buy some building materials and will establish it as soon as I receive my last transfer.
