What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent the larger part of my third transfer on cementing my house into a semi-permanent house from a mud one and now I am happy staying in a clean environment with no dust as compared to before the transfer. I added stock onto my grocery (tomatoes, kales) business since I harvest yields from my farm and sell in the near-by market.
