What did you spend your third transfer on?
I have two children in school,my son is taking a vocational training in building materials at our local polytechnic and a daughter in secondary school,so most of my third transfer I spent on paying them school fees.

I also bought my wife some clothes and the remaining on buying two sacks of corn for my family consumption.

Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am currently educating my two children who are in high school with alot of ease since I have paid school fees for the with the larger part of my second transfer. I can say that I am in peaceful state of mind since I used to worry on how I could pay school fees for them since I mainly rely on my farm yields as my main source of income and this time around the crops were attack by the crops worm resulting to low yields and a great loss indeed.
