I spent most of my transfer to buy building materials which I will soon use to build my house, paid school fees for my children so as not to be sent home for school fees, i also bought clothes for my children and myself.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am no longer stressed about where to get building materials because I bought all the materials with the transfer and also have my own business where I get my daily income and no longer have to work for other women to earn an income. Thank you GD
