What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent a larger portion of my second transfer on building a house and used 3000 KES on buying a solar panel.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is having a bigger house (30 iron sheets) unlike previously that I had a squeezed house that consumed only 4 iron sheets. I also have a solar panel that I use for lighting hence no more budgeting for paraffin which was very costly and at times we couldn't afford parraffin so we had to stay in the dark.
