What did you spend your third transfer on?
We bought a second hand motorcycle with the second transfer so when we received the third transfer we sold the second hand motorcycle and added the money to our third transfer then bought a new motorcycle. We did this because we were afraid the second hand motorcycle could incur us a lot of expense repairing it so we opted for a new one.
