What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent part of my third transfer on building a spacious house and more seats in my house. Being that I depend so much on farming, I also paid six people who prepared my parcel of land and finally used the remaining amount on my child's exams fees who had stayed at home for one week due to lack of money.
