What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used my last transfer to buy a water pump that I use for horticulture farming. The lack of this equipment made work hard because I used to hire one from the neighbors and when they were using theirs this meant that I fetch water from the river which was hectic. I also bought a diary cow which is almost giving birth and am going to have milk for consumption.
