And the Winner Is...

LIFE 2.0

The submission was provided by D. Shawn Mulder Kitrell, a 43-year old cabinet designer from Vero Beach, FL. Kitrell previously worked in Information Technology, and it was his four years in that field that inspired him to come up with the new phrase. Like a new and improved version of the latest software, Life 2.0 reflects a new and better chapter for today's young retirees, Kitrell explains. It reflects a beginning, rather than an end.

Kitrell has won a $100,000 annuity. On behalf of SmartMoney, we extend to Kitrell a hearty congratulations.
