What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy my spouse a motorcycle taxi so that he does not need to hire one everyday. Hiring a motorcycle taxi is very expensive and robs us of income we could us in our house.

The happiest part of my day is in the evening when my spouse comes home and he is carrying some fish for dinner.
