A 53 woman that has survived 2x lung failure and looking to help others with skincare & launch our esthetic spa with my daughter real soon

At 53, I’m on a wild ride to a healthier lifestyle, juggling medical bills and finances while embracing the college experience! I’m finally piecing together the roadmap to independence as I dream of launching our fabulous salon/spa. New outdoor adventures and networking galore are opening doors and friendships! Plus, I’m scooping up fresh knowledge and job skills, all while racking up those sweet mental health perks!
How do you stay fabulous?I'm laser-focused on my top priority: rocking my college education and snagging new opportunities! Family time is my secret weapon—it calms my mind and fuels my ambition. They're my cheerleaders, bursting with energy and excitement to tackle everything on our to-do list! My days are a whirlwind of exploring and pampering my seven furry companions, who are just as important to me as my family. Talk about a full house of love!
What would you do with the $40,000?To achieve financial stability while bringing the salon and spa to life, I would strategically allocate resources to cover all essential aspects of the business, including equipment, supplies, and marketing. Additionally, I would implement a solid budgeting plan to ensure consistent cash flow, allowing for timely payment of staff salaries and operational expenses. Establishing a reserve fund could provide a safety net for unforeseen circumstances, further safeguarding the business’s financials
