What did you spend your third transfer on?
I was planning to purchase a piece of land and I had paid some money to a landlord using my second transfer so when I received my third transfer, I paid the whole amount and used the rest to purchase building materials that I used to build a new house on my new acquired land. My ancestral land was not enough for me to build my own home. I am happy and grateful for the money as I have acquired my own land, one and half acres.
