What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on plastering our 3 room house built using the second transfer to make it more durable. I spent the balance on a bag of dry corn for family consumption, since we did not harvest enough as a result of harsh weather conditions and a small piece of land..

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent all of my second transfer on purchasing house construction materials (iron-sheets, timber, nails, water, steel door and windows) and build a new house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that today I live in a better, more spacious and presentable house. Living in a more spacious house motivates me to work harder to get more household items to fill the spaces in my house. Today, my house can accommodate many guests unlike before when I had to take my guests to my brother-in-law's house to sleep because I lacked enough space.
