What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on plastering my house. I have been staying in an earthen house smeared with cow dung and mud. I also bought building materials that I used to construct a kitchen where I can cook from. It also doubles up as a sleeping room for my children who are now of age and should have their own rooms.
