What did you spend your third transfer on?
I received my last transfer in the midst of a funeral my aunt had passed on and since she had no children we took it upon ourselves to give her a befitting burial so I used my last transfer to help out with the funeral arrangements, then the remainder of the cash I used to buy iron sheets, nails and doors to aid in building my house which I intend to build soon.
