What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent the whole of my third transfer on construction of a house using the materials I had purchased with my second transfer. In as much as my house is not fully finished I am so happy that it is the best I never imagined I would ever own. The kind of a house I owned before GD transfers was so pathetic that left everybody sympathize with me. I am so glad for the change GD brought in my life.
