What did you spend your second transfer on?
I bought 3 bulls with the whole of my second transfer. I anticipate to sell them in the future at a profit and buy a motorcycle that I have been longing for. As we talk, I feel happy looking after them since they rekindle hope in my life.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the elevation of my social and economic status. I am no longer a community laugh stock since my bulls are currently my wealth and I feel high about them.
