What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on 2 bulls to support land preparation, which has enabled me increase land under crops from the previous 1 acre when I used my hands to prepare land, up to 3.5 acres currently which I expect will improve our food security at family level.I believe as long as there is sufficient harvest at family level, even without much money one can still do well.

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent 25000 Kes of my second transfer on plastering my house, and bought a cow worth 12000 Kes. I also bought seats and a table worth 5000 Kes, a bed @2000 Kes and spent the rest on food.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I am more at peace after plastering my house because I built in a swampy land and this has always made my house so unstable and I was worried that it could by swept by the heavy rains but thanks to Gd I was able to plaster it.
