What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used part of my third transfer to buy seats because I only had one seat. I used to find it inconveniencing borrowing seats from neighbors whenever I had visitors because some of the neighbors would brag before assisting me. I also revived my business which fell because I didn't have enough resources to maintain it but now it has really picked and I'm getting good profit to keep me going.
