Book Cover & Preview Text
Andreas had so much to be thankful for. He knew he had made the right decision to be a civil servant in the most stable country in the world. Andreas did look forward to his retirement and the joys it would bring: spending time with his family in Greece, touring the USA, time to play with his grandchildren at the beach, the joy of collecting a social security check each month and getting a pension check each month, withdrawing from his deferred annuity, sharing in Maria's pension and social security. He told Maria he had no regrets that he followed his bliss and became a civil servant in the United States of America.
