What did you spend your third transfer on?
I used my third transfer to move to a new home. The moment I got the money, I bought 24 iron sheets and moved to my own home where I set a compound. Since then, I have been enjoying all sorts of freedom and peace of mind-no one argues with over shared resources as opposed to when I shared a compound with my elder brothers in my parents' home.
