What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my entire second transfer on building my homestead as per the tradition since I am the first born boy in our family and my father's compound was already crowded hence I was the one to move out before my followers.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that, right now I have my homestead built using the second transfer. I feel very happy because I have more freedom to decide on anything that I want to do in my own place.
