Michele Tarsitana

What I love about being over 40 is the clarity and confidence that comes with life experience. I've learned to prioritize what truly matters, let go of unnecessary worries, and embrace my strengths. There's a deeper sense of self-awareness, allowing me to navigate challenges with resilience and grace. I appreciate the value of meaningful connections and find joy in personal growth. It's a time of embracing authenticity and continuing to evolve with wisdom and purpose.

I stay fabulous by focusing on balance-mentally, physically, and emotionally. I prioritize self-care, whether through staying active, eating well, or maintaining a positive mindset. Lifelong learning keeps my mind sharp, and I embrace new experiences with curiosity. Surrounding myself with supportive people and nurturing meaningful relationships helps me stay grounded. Most importantly, I stay true to myself, embracing both growth and self-love, which keeps me confident and fabulous at any age.

With $40,000 I'd focus on a blend of smart financial decisions and meaningful investments in well-being. First, I'd allocate a portion to savings or investments, such as stocks or a retirement fund, ensuring long-term financial growth. I'd then set aside funds for a project or business. Like starting up my non-profit on suicide prevention/ mental awareness program my passion actually. I'd use some for personal experiences or self- care, like travel. Fostering personal growth and enjoyment.
