What did you spend your third transfer on?
I invested most of my third transfer on crop farming. I have always been a crop farmer though under small scale, therefore when I received this transfer, I enlarged the farming. As we speak, I am expecting very good returns from the crops. Besides that, I purchased 34 pieces of iron sheets which I planned to use in construction of a new house to replace the old and tiny one that I had occupied for the last 10 years. I am so glad today that GD has really raised my life to a higher level.
