What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on paying 20,000 KES school fee for my two children in high school, bought a sack of maize at 5,600 KES, fertilizer at 5,500 KES, am still having 15,000 KES which I'll use to cement my house after getting the third transfer. I then used the rest of the money on other home errands.

The biggest difference in my daily life is that am no longer so stressed about my children being sent out of school as before because I managed to pay some good amounts of their school fees. Am also hopeful of reaping good harvest than before because I used the required fertilizer.
