What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used a larger portion of the transfer to built a new house. The house I had was old and leaking. I also purchased other household items with the rest of transfer.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have a spacious house which doesn't leak. My former house was small in size and was also leaking because the roof was too old.
