What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used a portion of the transfer to cement the floor of my house because it used to be earth. I install electricity in my house. I also paid my grandchild in secondary school fee.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I no longer repair the floor of my house as it used to be because I managed to cement it. Apart from that, I no longer by paraffin for light provision and even stopped charging my phone at the trading center since I managed to install electricity in my home.
