What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on buying building materials which I'll use to set my own compound so I won't be paying rent as now. I also paid 7,000 KES fee arrears for my two children in primary and one in high school hence I no longer bare the burden of huge fee arrears. I then used the rest of the cash to buy two heifers to serve as financial security once they deliver offspring.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that am now having my own cattle hence financial security and some other household items that I couldn't have managed to have one my own. Am also very happy that I'll soon stop paying rent as I'll be having my own home.
