What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used my last transfer to plaster the floor and the walls of my house so i bought cement and sand to help me do this and paid the constructors, I did this because it is hard to find a suitable soil to plaster the walls and when it rains the walls fall off and constantly need to renovate with the same soil making it a cycle and it is tiring. the remaining money we used to buy food for the family and clothes.
