“Having a sex life is important, whether you’re married or not,” says Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus, director of the Medical Center for Female Sexuality in Purchase, NY. “It’s important for your sense of self, whether you’re having sex with someone else or with yourself.”

Married 29 years, they’ve always planned everything together, from family vacations to financing their two kids’ college educations. But now that they’re separately starting to think about their financial futures, each is reluctant to bring up this really important subject that will affect the rest of their lives.

When we asked, a few months ago, if you’d participate in a section like this, over 700 FOFs enthusiastically responded, “YES!”
“I’d love to sell my personal collection of vintage clothing and collectibles. And also wonderful jewelry pieces my friend creates. His pieces are amazing and beautiful,” said Marilyn.
“I’m starting a new business as a Patient Advocate and Health Care System Navigator, which I’d promote,” said Sue-Rae.
“I’d like to expand my at home Bookkeeping Business,” wrote Louette.
We weren’t surprised by the reaction. More and more women are becoming imbued with the spirit of entrepreneurship in the United States. Women-owned enterprises have increased a whopping 68 percent since 1998. Today, we own over 9.1 million businesses in the US, according to a report commissioned by American Express.
People aged 55 to 64 started almost 25 percent of all new businesses in 2012, up from 14.3 percent in 1996, according to a study by the Kauffman Foundation, a support organization for US startups. I’d guess women represent well over half of these.
While this movement may not be so great for corporations—which are losing our intelligence, curiosity, drive, creativity, passion, loyalty, common sense, team spirit and a host of other traits—entrepreneurship allows us to operate without the politics, bureaucracy, mediocrity and downright arrogance that plague far too many of them.
“We all have talents to share, but often not the means to just get started,” said FOF member, Janna.
That’s where FabOverFifty comes in. We’re not trying to be ebay or Etsy. We simply want to give YOU—THE GREATEST GENERATION OF WOMEN—the chance to showcase all the great things you’re doing. Then, you make the sale and you keep all the money.
