What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent my first transfer on purchasing a steel door to replace the old and broken one that I had before. I lived a very insecure life with lots of fears of someone breaking into my house through the old and broken door, and walking away with the few items I had in the house or even murdering me or any other family member who might be present by then.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
With the much desires I had of replacing my wooden old door, I felt so happy when I received my transfer as I knew that the desire would finally be fulfilled.
