What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent the larger part of my second transfer on buying an ox for cultivation hence this planting season I have not practiced labour exchange thus I have been able to do all my farm work on time.I also paid medical bills for eye sight problem.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest different in my daily life is that I have my own ox now for cultivation purposes hence this planting season I have not practiced labour exchange thus I have been able to do all my farm activities in time. I mainly practice commercial arrow root farming which I trade to a near by factory.
