What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on purchasing bedding since what I had were not worth owning. The ones I had were so old and needed immediate replacement. I also paid school fee for my son in university. Ever since he joined the university, I had been selling my cattle to pay him fee, which at the moment are over. I wondered much how I would continue paying for the son's education.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily is the new lifestyle I have acquired. The transfer has transitioned me from the black tea that I took every morning for breakfast to a milk tea served well with other foods. I count that as a very big difference.
