"The biggest difference in my daily life is the fact that I am happy because I completed paying for my plot of land. I am now relieved from the owner who had put me on pressure to give him his money yet I was hoping to clear him if the harvest is ready.

"I had not paid for house rent at the time when the recent transfer was sent because I didn't have money to pay for the rent because I had just lost my job leaving me with no source of income. I, therefore, used part of it to pay for the house rent so that the landlord couldn't harass me for not paying rent on time. A portion of the money I used to purchase foodstuffs for the family."
