What did you spend your third transfer on?
We used our last transfer to build two houses one for my co wife who passed away and another one was mine we thought it would be wise to build a house because we used to live in a small house that could not fit all of us so my husband used the money to buy materials for building the houses so most of our transfer went to building the house.
