What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used a portion of the transfer to buy 35 pieces of iron sheets which I'll use to build a new house. Bought a young cow. I also purchased foodstuffs for family consumption.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest different in my daily life is that my dream of owning a home with iron roofed house is redeemed since I managed to buy some building materials. I'm still staying in my in-lawa's compound in a small leaking grass thatched house due to insufficient funds to establish mine.
