What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on completion of house construction (35,000 KES), completion of construction of a business kiosk (10,000 KES)..I gave my husband a present and bought food for my family too (5,000 KES)
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that my business income from the food Kiosk has doubled after I renovated the structure and diversified types of food sold, which is seemingly attracting more customers.. Of late I carry home a profit of 500 KES-600 KES daily, unlike before when I would carry back about 200 KES, and I remember some instances when my business would collapse since I had very few customers, and I would borrow money to revive it .. Thank you very much.
