What did you spend your third transfer on?
I saved my second transfer so that I could add it to my third and spend it on buying building materials that I used to build my own house. I have been staying in a rental house and given that I do odd jobs, paying rent and school fees at the same time was hectic due to the meager payments I get. Now, the money I have been using to pay rent is now used for school fees.

Initially, I was homeless and therefore when I received my second transfer I spent the whole of it on a land. I am now glad that I have a land of my own and I anticipate to build my own home and walk out of a rental house.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference I can now mention in my daily life is the land I own. I am now having my own land with a titled deed and I anticipate to settle down there, once I receive the last one.
