What did you spend your third transfer on?
I had bought building materials using my second transfer so, when I received my third transfer, I built a new house. A spacious one. The one I had before was so squeezed and anytime I hosted visitors, I had to take them to my co wife's house to spend the night as the house was too squeezed to accommodate more people. The remaining I spent on boosting my fish mongering business. I can comfortably take care of my family.
