What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used my first transfer to pay school fees (20000), bought a mattress and cushions (10000), a cow (10000), weeding (5000), a bag of maize (3000) and food (2000).
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I had chairs but no cushions so i managed to buy and now my chairs are very comfortable. My mattress was old and very uncomfortable but now i sleep comfortably on my new mattress and access to food is not a hustle anymore because i have a stock of maize.
