Read the sentence below. I went to the mall after school; [WOL], I did not have much money to spend. Which transitional word would best complete the sentence?

The sentence contrasts going to the mall with having little money to spend. “However” signals this contrast, so the sentence reads: “I went to the mall after school; however, I did not have much money to spend.” “Further,” “secondly,” and “additionally” introduce extra information rather than a contrast.
