The biggest difference in my daily life is that I have enough food to feed my family members and I can say that our health is much better since before the transfer I didn't think I would be able to get food with ease as I couldn't by food on a daily basis due to lack of money. I also have a decent house which my neighbor are puzzled by it and how money can improve a persons situation to be better.
