What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on purchasing a generator for pumping water into my crop farms. Previously, I hired other people's generator which consumed a lot of money. This therefore resulted into less profit as compared to the total production cost. Besides that, I finished the construction of my house which I began last year. There were quite a number of things that I couldn't afford by then, some of which include, windows, doors, plastering etc.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the is the maximization of profit and minimization of production cost which has greatly uplifted my living standards to a level I never expected in life.
