What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer digging a well. There is a water problem in our area so immediately I got the third transfer I saw the need of digging a well. The well has been very helpful because now my family do not walk for long distances in search of water. I also sell water to villagers and thus my income level has increased.
