What did you spend your second transfer on?
I invested most of my second transfer on livestock farming. I began by purchasing 2 cows that I intended to keep with hopes that they would reproduce and add more to the flock. The remaining amount I gave out to my spouse for the family's upkeep since she was the one responsible for that.
