What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on purchasing building all building materials that I planned to use in construction of a new house once my third transfer is sent. Besides that, i paid school fee for my daughters in secondary school. Being a widow, I suffered a lot in raising school fee for the daughters. I can't fail to mention the number of times I have been disappointed by politicians in an attempt to beg them for financial support.

The biggest difference in my daily life is the peace of I have acquired with my children's school fee fully settled. The fact that I no longer beg for financial assistance is something worth mentioning.
