🛑 My name is Maria. I'm 32. I live in Dortmund, Germany. I'm self-employed. But yesterday I bought my dad a Volkswagen Tiguan straight from the dealership.

He always knows when I'm lying. He just doesn't push it. He’s 59. Spent 32 years working as a railway technician at a railway maintenance depot in Dortmund. Heavy manual labour, late shifts, freezing cold depots in winter. Never had a proper new car of his own, never went abroad more than once every ten years. Every Sunday: "Maria, if you're struggling for cash, just say." I never said. ——— Then last m
