What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used a portion of the transfer to buy building materials(iron sheets, nails, timber, and metallic door). Besides, I purchased other household items with the rest of the transfer.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that my desire of owning a home is at the verge of being realized since I've managed to buy all the building materials and only waiting to harvest my crops then establish it since our tradition dictate that one cannot establish a home when the farm is not yet harvested.
