I would suggest to any.... any... new player: Don't be eager to spend any of your farm cash right away
You will be better off to see all that is available, how much FC will be required
(thousands, literally) , and whether it is better to put good effort into getting neighbors
(from existing neighbors, or from some FT groups), or spending that little bit of cash..... or asking for a gift card to purchase FC.
Go a little slow, read the info at this forum... and then enjoy any decision you will make.
