Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life is better because very soon I will be owning a plot of land once I receive my second transfer. I'm planning to build my grass thatched houses there. In the past, I used to stay at parent's home with my children and at times rented when situations could get tough at home. Secondly, I'm now sleeping very well on my bed. Before, I slept on the floor.
