What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent part of the third transfer on constructing a new house because I had bought building materials with the previous transfers. I had a small house that couldn't fiyt my big family but now I have a spacious house of my dream. Part of the money I used to boost my grocery business and I'm happy the business is doing well and I can comfortably meet my family's needs.
