What did you spend your third transfer on?
When I received my third transfer, I constructed a bigger house of 3 rooms. The house is better than the 2 room house that I had before that couldn't accommodate us all. My children never had a place to sleep and it could therefore force them to cruise in the dark, to sleep at the neighbors home, which I considered risky to their lives.
