What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying sheep that I am hoping will multiply and give me profits in the future. I also bought building materials that I used to construct a kitchen where I can cook from. Previously I could cook from my main house and most of the time the smoke was too much hindering my family from staying indoors .The remaining I spent on buying cushions for my seats and a few furniture.
