"I have plans to finally start a business this year because the cost of living has gone extremely high, yet I have a family to look after. Therefore, I will try to keep a small amount of the money that I receive each time so that when I finally have enough, I can finally open a store and start selling items that will assist me in looking after my family. I have also so far been able to purchase two goats, six hens, and two turkeys with the funds that I have been receiving. Therefore, I plan to acquire more farm animals, which can be quite beneficial when I'm struggling financially."
