I spent my first transfer to buy a new mattress since the one I was sleeping on was old and worn out. Since my wife had delivered, I gave her some amount for her upkeep and the remaining amount I spent to buy food for my family.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
When I received the money, I did not believe but confirmed that it was true when I withrew the money which I had before and when I checked my balance, I was shocked, happy and felt more stronger since my wife had delivered and by that time I did not have even a single cent. Thank you GD for the transfer.
