What did you spend your third transfer on?

What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent most of my first transfer on purchasing 2 cows that I intended to keep for future use. The remaining amount I spent on purchasing household items such as utensils, clothes and bedding. I am so happy that I have acquired all that I lacked in my house and from today hence forth, I will no longer borrow such items from the neighbors as was the case before.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
