the Story of the hard-working man who never got to enjoy retirement has affected me deeply. Almost every day I ask myself if I am happy with my life. And yes, almost every day I answer myself that it is fun and interesting, even to go to work. But the day I no longer enjoy I will think differently. And start dreaming about pensionärslivet.
