Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that, I have owned a cow that I had desired in life. The milk from the cow will generate income that I will use for buying basic needs like soap, clothes, food. Previously I used to do casual labour(working in people's gardens) to get income for buying basic needs at my old age.
