What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my first transfer to buy iron sheets, nails and poles as part of construction materials that I will use to construct a new house. My current house has old walls and a rusty leaking roof. I then spent some money to increase the stock of my rice selling business.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my life is that I am now very certain that I will be able to get a new house with better roofing and remove the shame of living in a house with a leaking roof.
