I spent my second transfer to offset a loan that I had taken to buy my own motorcycle to use for transport business.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference I have is that I have managed to complete the loan I took for the motorcycle and now I do not have to take part of my income every month to pay for the loan. This has made me save quite a lot.
