What did you spend your third transfer on?
i used my last transfer to buy cement and sand to help me plaster the floor of my house, jiggers had infested my whole house and so by plastering the floor I somehow got rid or prevented the infestation of jiggers , I also bought a mattress the one I had before was worn out, and the rest of the money I used to buy a diary cow, right now it has given birth and is giving us with milk.
