Receive Text UpdatesReaching the age of 40 and beyond has bestowed upon me a remarkable blend of confidence and insight. This phase of life isn’t just a number; it’s a revelation. I’ve gained an invaluable understanding of what truly ignites my happiness and creates a sense of fulfillment.
How do you stay fabulous?By staying active and enjoying life with my sons. Whether it’s going to the gym together, jogging, or playing pickle ball, we make exercise a fun and bonding activity. Staying connected with my friends and family keeps my spirits high, and I love indulging in new experiences like exploring new restaurants and destinations. It’s about keeping balance both physically and emotionally-and finding joy in every day.
What would you do with the $40,000?I will use it to lower my student loan debt. Being financially free would give me more flexibility to continue enjoying the things I love, like traveling and spending time with my family. It would also allow me to focus more on creating lasting memories with my sons and friends, without the hold of debt holding me back.
