What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used to have a very squeezed two roomed house that could not comfortably accommodate my family. So most part of my third transfer I spent buying, building materials that I used to construct a three roomed spacious house. At least it is now spacious enough. The remaining amount I spent buying corn for my family consumes.
