What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used my third transfer to construct a house. In fact, I have built my own home and I no longer querrels with my in-laws over trivial issues that used to arise when we lived together in the same compound. I can say that I am now free to carry out my development activities such as farming without any consultations.
