What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on purchasing a second-hand motorcycle that we thought could help us generate some income for the family's upkeep. Previously my spouse did this job of moving people and goods on motorcycle from one point to another, though with somebody's motorcycle, which demanded him to remit a total of 300 KES to the owner at the end of every day. This appeared to be very hectic and less profitable more so on those bad days when all he could generate could be equal or even less than the 300 KES required by the motorcycle owner, meaning he would have to walk home empty handed after remitting all the day's generated income. I am so happy today with the motorcycle we purchased since all that is generated from it is fully ours, something that has even enabled us to open a savings account for the excess income generated daily.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the improved living standard my family has acquired so far with the increased income generation the motorcycle we previously purchased using our second transfer.
