I have not yet spent my third transfer as we intend to buy land to build on since we have no place to put up our house at the moment. We are still in the process of meeting and finalizing with the land owner.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent a portion of my second transfer on boosting my snack business which had began doing so poorly due to shortage of operational funds. Being the only source of income, the profits generated could not be ploughed back but instead used in meeting the daily family's needs. The remaining portion I saved in my account in preparation for construction of a new house once my third transfer is sent.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the ease of operating my snack business that I have currently found. I have enough raw materials stock, and I don't have to purchased them on credit as was the case before.
