What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I am planning to buy some oxen which will assist me when I am tilling my farm. The remaining transfers will be used to buy household items like chairs and utensils.

What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest hardship that I face right now is lack of enough money to buy some oxen, this means that I have to till my farm using manual labour and this is not very efficient.
