"An iron-roofed house for myself normally is what always rings in my mind whenever I think of getting a lump sum amount of money. Despite having this great ambition, this has never come through due to the financial crisis. Receiving this money, therefore, means a dream fulfilled because I am now confident that, I will soon have the opportunity to construct a spacious house, and to achieve this, I plan to spend utmost 350 dollars. On the other hand, I also intend to buy more goats to continue with my livestock keeping and I wish to purchase 10 of them at an estimated cost of 30 dollars each. This will mean a great change in my life and obviously, a better life than I have desired for a long time."
