What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on purchasing food to sustain the family, bought a cow with an intention of selling the young ones in future to pay school fees for my children and used the larger percentage of the transfer on building a nice spacious house since the previous one was small.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the comfort that I enjoy in the new house since the previous one was small and uncomfortable especially when I had friends around.
