What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on buying a welding machine that I use in my workshop for welding purposes. I used to hire the machine and I could not do a lot of work given that the machine was not mine. I am now able to do a lot. The remaining I spent on buying some livestock that I am rearing.
