What did you spend your first transfer on?
When I received my first transfer, I spent it on 6 iron sheets. I would like to construct a better house since the one I live in currently is very poor-it is weak and since it is semi-permanent, it keeps on falling off especially during rainy seasons. We are therefore afraid living there since it may collapse on us anytime.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment I received my money, I felt very excited since it was my first time holding and owning 10000 KES cash money. It was such a great experience!
