What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent most of my third transfer on livestock farming since it was something I had longed for, for so long. I felt so happy with this move because I would be able to get my own milk and use my own oxen for ploughing rather than relying on others' oxen and spending a lot on purchasing milk daily for my breakfast.
