My three top-achieving sons said they would save $5,000 a month for my retirement fund.
"Mom, you've worked hard all your life, it's time to enjoy your life!"
In my previous life, I was deeply moved and thought I had finally made it.
It wasn't until I was diagnosed with cancer ten years later that I realized I couldn't even use the Golden Years Fund to pay the 5,000 deposit.
Soon after, my eldest brother called and said that he was short of $200,000 to buy a house and needed to use my pension money first.
The second son rushed to the hospital with his daughter-in-law and grandson, but he didn't care about my condition at all. He directly asked for money to enroll the child in the Euro Scholars Program worth 100,000.
The third brother followed suit and asked me to give him $80,000 to help him buy a new car.
When they found out that there was no money in the card, the three brothers were all furious.
"The three of us put $5,000 into the card every month, which means 1.8 million dollars in 10 years. You say we don't have money? How is that possible!"
In order to find out the whereabouts of the retirement fund, they mobilized their relatives and friends to interrogate me and even accused me of elderly misconduct.
Unable to bear the mental pressure, I lost consciousness and fell down the stairs, and died on the spot.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day when I paid the hospital deposit.
……
"Eleanor's family? Please go to the first floor to pay the hospital deposit."
When I heard the nurse's voice, I shuddered and subconsciously clenched the Golden Years Fund in my hand.
But this time, I didn't swipe the card. Instead, I asked Margaret for help directly, who was thousands of miles away.
Then the phone rang. It was the boss, Liam Miller.
There was urgency in his voice.
"Mom, I've seen a School-district property in a great location. I've already paid the deposit, and I'm just $200,000 short!"
"The money in your Golden Years Fund is just sitting there anyway, why don't you give it to me first to make some cash flow, okay?"
When I heard these familiar words, I realized that I was truly reborn.
In my previous life, after raising my three sons to become top students, they suddenly decided to save a retirement fund for me.
"Mom, Dad passed away early. It was not easy for you to raise the three of us. You suffered a lot, and we all remember it in our hearts."
"Now that we are working, it's time for you to enjoy yourself!"
"From now on, the three of us will deposit $5,000 into your Golden Years Fund every month to build a retirement fund for you. How about that?"
From then on, for a full ten years, I received three bank text messages every month, no more, no less, exactly $5,000.
Deposit money into the exclusive Golden Years Fund on time without interruption.
This card has become my confidence and a guarantee for my retirement.
All the neighbors around me envy me for my good fortune and my happy ending after all the hardship I have endured.
But I didn't expect that my nightmare was also caused by this card.
When I went to the hospital to pay the bill, I learned that this card couldn't even be used to pay a four-digit deposit. My mind went blank and I immediately told the boss who called me about it.
But I didn't expect that the boss would question me without any reason.
"The three of us put $5,000 into the card every month without fail. In ten years, that's 1.8 million dollers. How can we be broke?"
"Mom, don't play dumb. We saved this money for your retirement, not for you to spend carelessly!"
"Hurry up and transfer the money over. Two hundred thousand, not a cent less. I'm still waiting for the contract to be signed!"
The disappearance of the retirement fund left me full of doubts and grievances.
I know it's not easy for children to make money, so in the past ten years, I have to think for a long time even before buying myself a new piece of clothing.
How is it possible to misappropriate this money at will?
But before I could say anything, the second and third children rushed to the hospital.
I thought they were coming to visit me and pay for my surgery.
Unexpectedly, the second child asked for $100,000, saying that he wanted to enroll his son who was in junior high school in the Euro Scholars Program.
