What did you spend your third transfer on?
I opted to use the money to plaster my house in addition to building a new house for my son. I also bought a new generator that I wanted to use to pump water to my farm from the river. I used to borrow a generator from a friend but when I got the transfers from GD, I was able to pump water to my farm without having to borrow one from a friend.
