What did you spend your second transfer on?
When I received my second transfer, I had a very pathetic house which needed an immediate repair or else it would have collapsed on me. I therefore purchased 30 pieces of iron sheets and constructed a 3 roomed house to replace the half broken one that I possessed before. My son's house too had become so old and leaking and being jobless, he could not afford repairing. I therefore repaired it too.

The biggest difference in my daily is the security I have found in my new house, not as before when I would worry a lot of the risks associated with a collapsing house.
