What did you spend your third transfer on?
Having constructed a house using my previous transfer, I spent a portion of the third transfer on finishing the construction of the same house. I purchased steel windows and doors which I inserted in the house. I am so glad today that I have constructed the house and has shifted to live in it. Besides that, I expanded my crop farming which I did previously before being enrolled into the program. I am very lucky today that the transfer has enabled me double the profit that I previously generated from my paw paw and tomato farming.
