What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used my third transfer to buy a cow. As we talk, I am milking. I thought of buying the cow since I considered it as one of my major investement that would reproduce and generate for me more milk for sale and household consumptions. It never took long since I receved the money and bought the cow that has enabled me enjoy the fruits of my expectation earlier than I expected!
