Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
Previously, I borrowed people oxen for farming that could be given to me at a latter time which resulted to low yields because the oxen owners preferred their farms first. I am now having my own ox that I believe will increase my yields because I am going to plough my farm and plant crops in time.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I recieved my money, I became very happy because I knew this cash will be used for acquiring an ox that I had longed for.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer to purchase an ox, household items(utensils, curtains), foodstuffs, paid off a debt and labour for harvesting my ground nuts.
