What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I paid my dowry with half of the money and what ensued was building and moving to my own home. I am currently happily married and living in my home.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
We used our second transfer to pay my own dowry since this is something that was overdue according to Luo culture and traditions-It closed even for us door of development-we couldn't build and move to our own home. But since it was paid, the doors open to us, love and happiness increased and we built and moved to our own home where we currently live more comfortably.
