What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on purchasing seats since I had old ones and a radio mostly for news to know the happenings. I also bought seats cover and food that we ate as a family. The larger portion of my third transfer went on building my first born son a house because he was living in bad one due to lack of money to build a nice house.
