Martha sat at her wooden desk on a rainy Tuesday evening. She was fifty-eight years old and worked as a plant specialist. For over twenty years, Martha had saved money every single month. She was finally very close to her dream of early retirement. She wanted to quit her job in just two years. Her plan was to buy a small cottage near the woods. She dreamed of spending her days reading, gardening, and drinking warm tea. In that quiet forest, wild birds and rabbits lived freely and peacefully. Martha looked at her bank account balance on her computer screen. She smiled because her savings goal was almost completely achieved today. Everything was going according to her carefully planned retirement schedule. Suddenly, her telephone rang on the side of the desk. She picked it up and saw her son Leos face on the screen. Leo was thirty years old and lived in a big city nearby. He had started his own business three years ago with great passion. His company created simple furniture from recycled wood and organic cotton. Martha answered the call with a bright and happy smile. However, she noticed immediately that Leo looked tired and very anxious.
