"The biggest difference is that in the past I did not have land, however I have now acquired a plot of land and I am going to construct my own house. More so, I now have two chickens that I believe when they produce and multiply, I intend to acquire goats through barter trade and these in turn will enable me buy cows. And eventually I will be able to marry."
