What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on buying sand and cement which I'm planning to use in plastering my house so that it looks neat. I installed electricity with part of the money because I'm staying a way from the market centre so I'll have easy time in charging my phone.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that I now have a source of income because I charge people's phone at a fee. I can now start poultry farming too because I now have electricity which is cheaper compared to solar.
