Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have been in position to repair my motorbike which is now back doing transportation business. Further more, I have stock ground nuts which I am going to resell when it's price increases for higher profits. Before receiving this transfer, I would have taken a long period of time without repairing my motorbike and couldn't have stocked ground nuts because of limited funds.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
My neighbour called me at around 3:00 AM to inquire whether I had also recieved my cash. Immediately I cross checked with my mobile money account, I became very happy upon learning that I had received mine too. This is because this money was going to help me repair my motorbike and restock my shop for increased profits.
What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer to purchase 6 bags of ground nuts, solar, battery, radio, repairing my motorbike and restocking my shop.
