I stopped living my life according to others' expectations and started focusing on what I wanted for myself. We die once, but live everyday.

Being 55 is wonderful because life experiences and accumulated wisdom have shaped me into my best self. I no longer need to impress others. I discovered the confidence to act according to my own beliefs and convictions. I trust my instincts and feel freer than ever.
How do you stay fabulous?To stay fabulous, I treat myself with the same compassion, respect, and kindness I have given to others throughout my life, but that I now realize I also need to give to myself. This ensures my needs are met without guilt, fostering a sense of accomplishment and growing confidence to wholeheartedly embrace my fabulousness daily.
What would you do with the $40,000?With $40,000, I'd use the money to enhance the freedom and confidence I cherish at 55. A portion would go towards travel, to explore new cultures and enrich my worldviews. Another portion would go towards learning—whether new courses or seminars to enhance my knowledge and skills. Some would be saved for my future, giving me more freedom to follow my passions. Finally, I'd donate to causes I believe in, staying true to my convictions and helping to improve my community.
