What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to spend my transfer on building a house as the house we currently stay on is very small, I will spend part of the transfer on buying a water tank so that I can harvest water and the remaining amount I will spend on buying two bulls that I can use in ploughing our farm.
