The biggest difference in my daily life is that i sleep very peacefully and comfortably on a bed and a mattress,I used not to sleep peacefully because my roof used to leak and when it rains all my beddings would get soaked,I had no bed and a mattress. I own a garden now and I nolonger hire a garden to do farming,previously I used to hire a garden to dig in and life was not easy because even getting money to hire one was very difficult.
