Emotionally happy, physically fit and healthy, and still working it hard at work and taking care of myself and my family.

I love being over 40 because I have learned a lot of life lessons as a woman, daughter, sister, as a mother. I am still growing in my wisdom and spirituality. I am very positive and caring person and find purpose from helping others. I also have learned to accept and not feel ashamed to ask for help from others when I need it because although I’m a super woman, I can’t do everything by myself and still need to be mindful of taking care of me and not stretch myself out so much.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous with the way I carry myself around my friends, family, co-workers, and strangers. I show respect and kindness and do my best to help them with what they need. I take care of my parents full time and work full time from home.
What would you do with the $40,000?Forty thousand dollars will go towards paying off my house. I owe about $52 thousand on it now. Also, on a separate note, I am about to finish paying off my car this month. I’m thrilled about paying off my car this month because soon I can pay off some credit debit that I incurred early this year from plumbing work done to my bathroom. I plan to start saving money towards an emergency fund and hope to take some nice vacation trips with my family.
