What did you spend your third transfer on?
My main business at my rural home is that of ploughing rice so when I got my third transfer I decided to buy more farm inputs that would help me get increased yields. I bought fertilizers and used modern farming methods thus my farm yields have increased greatly. This in turn has increased my level of income in the house.
