What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my cash, I first purchase 20 pieces of iron sheets and other building materials that I intend to use in construction of a new house to replace the old and tiny house that I had before. Besides that, I paid school for my son in a polytechnic who was in his final semester and needed 9000 KES to register for his final exams.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the acquisition of freedom from the frustrations I had towards raising the 9000 KES that my son needed to register for his final exams. Secondly, the fact that my family can feed well is a very big change that I least expected in life.
