What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent a portion of my third transfer on plastering my house which was initially very weak since it was made of mud. I also purchased bedding for myself since the ones I had had become so ugly and worn out. Lastly, I constructed an external kitchen to help me in cooking rather than cooking under a tree as was the case before.
