/* In this example, we will show how a workspace can transfer money to another workspace. This is not 
the recommended way of creating granting resources. This approach immediately removes all resources 
from the parent. The parent cannot observe usage from the child. In addition, the workspace is not 
allowed to over-allocate resources. We recommend using deposit for almost all cases. Workspace PIs 
should only use transfers if they wish to give away resources that they otherwise will not be able 
to consume.  */
