What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used a portion of my third transfer to buy iron sheets, timber and nails which I have used to build a house because I was living in a house which was infested with termites and was almost falling down. I bought steel door and steel windows because they are beautiful and which I have fixed on my house. The remaining amount, I spent on a bed and a mattress because my bedding were out and also food for my laborers and my family.
