"I expect my life to change in the next six months in that I will have finally built the house I have been waiting for in the last two years. Low income denied me the chance to have my own house. I am glad with GD transfers I will soon have the required materials for putting up the house. After that, I want to marry. I am of age and all my agemates have wives except me. I feel like the laughing stock in the village. I would not want to be the same after the life-changing opportunity."
