What did you spend your third transfer on?
I live in an area that is prone to floods. Before I got the third transfer floods had destroyed my house and it was no longer safe to stay in it. The transfer was God sent because my house was almost falling down so immediately the third transfer was sent I decided to build a new house which is stronger and better than the previous one.
