What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on building a house for my late wife as per tradition which had been imposible for a long time due lack of money. I also build a kitchen that my children sleep at night because previously, they could spend the night at my brother's place which was risky with the adolescent age, being that it was far hence I was unable to monitor them. The remaining amount went on a dairy cow for milk production that we enjoy as a family of which I nolonger buy unlike before.
