What did you spend your third transfer on?
I only had one chair which couldn't fit my family members and whenever I had visitors I could give them jerrycan to sit on so I used a larger portion of the third transfer on buying furniture. I bought building materials that I'm planning to use in plastering my house so that it can be stronger and last longer.
