Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
My life has really improved and I feel at peace having completed my house which had been under construction for the last three years without completion due to inadequate finance. I have always borrowed money in order to pay school fee but I managed to clear the school fee without borrowing. This is the biggest difference in my daily life.
