Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The change I see is that I no longer quarrel with my wife ever since I got the money because I can buy for her what she wants. Before getting the transfer, we could quarrel because my wife expected me to provide for her yet I am now too old to work for my own money.

I felt so happy when I received the transfer, that is the time I realised that God is really good.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on purchase of a mattress and food. I gave my wife UGX 500,000 and I have kept the balance of the money for renovating my house.
