What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on expanding my family house to make three rooms since it was so tiny.
How is your life different than it would have been if you never received the transfer?

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I used my second transfer to add more rooms on my house because initially I had a one bed room house in which I used to sleep with my family and it was too small. I also bought a goat because I had always wanted to rear goats as a source of income
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference is that I no longer struggle a lot because I am building and also planning to expand on my farm to rear more goats
