What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on completing the payment of a motorcycle that I had purchased on hire purchase terms. I was glad that I had paid half of it from the tea leaves business I conducted a long the lake. With the motorcycle at hand, I am able to collect a total of 350 KES on a daily basis from the commercial services it does everyday. This has greatly improved my living standard because my daily needs are well catered for using the amount collected from the motorcycle.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the improved living standards I have acquired with the income I derive from the motorcycle purchased.
