I love being over 40 because I finally know the true meaning of freedom; financial freedom, which allows me to make choices that align with my passions and values without the burden of financial stress. I can finally prioritize me; and focus on what truly fulfills me. I can pursue new hobbies, travel, and spend quality time with the people I love, all while letting go the pressure to conform to others expectations and create a life that reflects who I truly am.
How do you stay fabulous?Becoming fabulous was a long journey for me rooted in self reflection, self love, faith, and healing. I’ve learned that true fabulousity comes from being authentic, and aligning with what resonates deeply within my heart and soul. I’ve worked hard to rise above judgments, fears, social conditioning, and narratives that once held me back. Now each day I strive to honor my journey and celebrate my growth, knowing that staying fabulous is about being true to myself and continually evolving.
What would you do with the $40,000?As a saver and a planner if I had $40,000 I would save most of it, knowing that you never know when an unexpected need might arise, I’d invest a significant portion into my retirement to secure a comfortable future, especially with retirement approaching. Additionally, I would set aside money to help cover my children’s college expenses ensuring they wouldn’t have to struggle with student loans. If there were still funds remaining I would consider paying off my car and my son’s.
