Zachary
received a $23 twelfth payment.
"I expect in the next six months to have saved money and buy building materials which I will use in the construction of my homestead. At the moment I am staying at my parent's homestead and as the saying says it comes a time when a man shall move out and start his own home. I feel the time has come to be independent and my motivation comes from the transfers I get."
