What did you spend your third transfer on?
When I received my third I spent on livestock. I bought 2 cows that are soon giving birth and I anticipate to achieve my dream of being a farmer, which I had been longing for-almost everyone in my village is a livestock farmer except me and I always feel odd one out.
