What did you spend your second transfer on?
My second transfer was mostly spent to buy a cow and hire a plot for rice farming. During lactation, I will sell milk from my cow and earn profit and also when my rice has matured, I will harvest, sell and earn more profit than I invested. I also bought fertilizer to increase my yield, and also paid laborers to work on my rice farm.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My daily life is different in that I no longer work for other women in their rice farms as I also have mine to attend to and my cow to graze which I never had before and this makes me happy.
