I built a semi-permanent house of 30 iron sheets with the whole of my first lumpsum transfer.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
Initially, I lived in a single room where my privacy was violated since It was hard to even change clothes especially when my household members or my visitors were around, however I am now having a house made of more rooms, where I don't need to be worried of my privacy anymore, the biggest difference in my daily life.
