What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent most of my second transfer to buy two cattle which I now grace and paid school fees for my children who are in high school so as not to be sent home for fees.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I am now at peace and no longer worry that my children will come back home for school fees. Thank you GD
