What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I spent on building materials that I will use to build a house in my own home. As the first born, I have not been getting it easy delaying the rest of my brothers (according to Luo culture) and everyone else is looking down upon me.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that since I started purchasing building materials, constructing my own home has been imminent and this has really fostered peace between me and my brothers. Before then, everyone was looking down upon me since I was delaying to build and move to my own home . My brothers are now certain that very soon, I will build my own home then allow them to build too.
