I’m 61 but feel like I’m still in my 40’s. I stay in shape in my home gym and travel a lot with my job. I’ve even traveled to Babylon, Iraq.

The thing I love most about being over 40 is that I am the owner of my life. I do and go, whenever and wherever the moment moves me. I have a fabulous career and life and I’m very close to retirement, which will allow me to enjoy life even more.
How do you stay fabulous?I stay fabulous by traveling as often as I can. Whether it’s with my job or for pleasure, I enjoy either just the same, as I’m usually going to new destinations.Just recently I went to Paris for fashion week and got to experience a fashion show for the first time.Wow.I felt as fabulous as the models looked.I love to be outdoors as much as possible to absorb fresh air and vitamin D.I also take at least one day a month to pamper myself because every fabulous woman should always do this!
What would you do with the $40,000?I would use the $40,000 to take my two sisters on a vacation that they would never forget. They have struggled financially, so this would definitely make them happy. Someplace sunny. Somewhere they could relax and enjoy their life for a few weeks with no worries. I would also pay their rent for a month and some groceries. The rest, I would maybe buy myself a new outfit.
