What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on furnishing my living room which was initially very empty. At least today I can feel some confidence when somebody requests for a visit at my home because the person will find a better and comfortable place to stay. I also purchased a solar panel to improve the lighting of my home as opposed to the kerosene lamp that I used before that demanded for daily purchase of kerosene.
