I noticed that after 40 years, money is not so necessary, I almost do not spend on appearance, travel is stuffed with stonewall

Men like to say that women are mercantile creatures. They all get married and all they need is money. Someone will agree with this, someone will be rightly outraged. And, nevertheless, women at different ages tend not to material things: What does a woman need after 40 years? Of course not the money, Lena laughs.

This year, Lena is 46 years old, she does not consider herself old, but does not call herself young. Lena lives alone, she does not hide that she has been striving for a good income all her life. And now Lena is sure that happiness is not in money.



What a woman needs after 40 years “In 20 years I never had enough money” I always needed something: makeup, beautiful things, I wanted to go to a restaurant, and sometimes I wanted to go abroad with friends. I have always loved to travel, and I still don’t think it’s worth it. After all, travel is new impressions, acquaintances, tender memories.



I never wanted kids. I was frightened by the thought that I would have to make money only on their maintenance. They say that if you don’t get rich by age 40, you’ll never get rich. It's a lie, I've been successful after 40 years. I don't need anything now.



I used to look with awe at beautiful dresses and jewelry. When I got a good income, I started buying everything I wanted. And then I realized that I was not so hooked beautifully dressed mannequins in the windows, expensive earrings and the latest iPhones.



I can't say I stopped looking at my looks. There are a lot of home grandmother's remedies, which are no worse than purchased creams, balms and masks. I'm not interested in dressing up and running a marathon for two hours for a run-of-the-mill date. Besides, there are not so many decent men left.

I have visited many places and seen beautiful places. And then I caught myself thinking that it was all the same thing. The picture repeats itself. After 40 years, you begin to monitor your health, your figure. I can't just walk into a restaurant and order whatever I want. Everything eaten affects the waist instantly.



I have a capsule wardrobe of classic clothes that can be worn for years. A pair of earrings and a pendant. A single 40-year-old woman doesn’t need a lot of money to look good. I know that you can eat simple foods, you can play sports anywhere and do not have to pay money for it to the coach. Money is overvalued, chased for life, and then do not know what to spend it on.”



From the editorial office, Lena experienced euphoria from spending money. She worked hard and received a steady income as a reward. It turns out that if you realize all your dreams, a person will realize that for many joys in life money is not necessary. When we are young, we want to be like others, have expensive gadgets and beautiful clothes. But the older we get, the easier we are to deal with material things.
