What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent a portion of my third transfer on extending my house which was previously very tiny to accommodate my family and guests. I found it so hard requesting for accommodation at the neighborhood whenever I had visitors at home. That brought me much shame as the neighbors kept on disclosing a lot of information about my family. I am glad today that I no longer undergo this shame. Secondly, I purchased an ox which I currently use in ploughing my farms.
