What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on purchasing a second-hand motorcycle that I gave out to my spouse to use for commercial purposes. I am glad the the project has really changed our lives since at the end of everyday we've always saved 300 KES, not as before when we had nothing at all to save. Whatever my spouse got from his fishing activities was not even enough to cater for the family's daily needs.
