What did you spend your third transfer on?
I invested the whole of my third transfer on crop farming. Since ploughing my land had been an issue for long, I opted to purchase two oxen and an ox-plough to aid my farming activities.I will no longer spend on hiring people to till my land.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent a larger portion of the transfer to built iron roofed house and cemented the floor. I bought a bull for farming activities. I also purchased corns for family consumption.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I'm freed from frequent repair of the floor because I managed to cement it. Apart from that, I'm expecting a good harvest this season since I managed to till my land in time after buying another bull and put together with the one I had. To crown it all, my house is one of the best houses in the village. This brought a lot of respect to my family in the community.
