Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that my child hasn't been sent out of school due to school fee arrears as was supposed to be because I've managed to pay the fee. Am also happy that am about to have a house that I've always desired but couldn't manage to have due to lack of finances.
