You're Not Behind

Midlife isn't a failure - it's an awakening. You're Not Behind reframes midlife as a new beginning and shows it's never too late to build wealth at your own pace. Blending behavioural finance insights with a nervous-system-safe approach to money, this book helps you grow stability and confidence without panic or shame.

Author Mel G. Prosper draws on the Slow Money Movement(TM) philosophy - grounded in emotional safety and sustainable wealth - to guide readers through a gentle six-month reset. Each month focuses on slow, steady steps to repair your finances and renew your sense of security, from grounding in the basics to gradually building toward future prosperity.

- A step-by-step Slow Money roadmap (six months long) for midlife financial renewal, moving from stabilising your foundation to designing a secure future.

- The Prosper Plan(TM) blueprint, which integrates all aspects of your finances - safety nets, debt strategy, daily money habits, investing choices, and even aligning work with your energy.

- Gentle techniques to overcome financial anxiety and decision fatigue, helping you replace urgency with clarity and intention.

- Reflection prompts, checklists, and "tiny action" exercises to turn insights into practical habits, so you can steadily build wealth that feels manageable and meaningful.

- Empowering perspectives on midlife reclamation (not radical reinvention) - showing how to honour your experience and strengths as you design your second act.

Written in a calm, encouraging voice, You're Not Behind offers a rare blend of emotional depth and financial savvy. Whether you're rebuilding after setbacks or seeking a calmer path forward, this guide will help you create financial peace on your own terms - slowly, steadily, and without shame.
