What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my transfer on buying an ox which I will be using on ploughing my farmland. I then bought sand and cement to be used on plastering my house and then paid a carpenter some down payment to build me a new set of seats. I then used the rest of the transfer on buying a sack of corn for my family's feeding considering the current food shortage and drought.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I will soon have nice seats now that i was able to put a down payment for the same and I will not also have a hard time when preparing my farmland because I now have an ox of my own to assist me such work.
