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.

Inside this book, you'll discover:

- 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.

Mel G. Prosper, author of Unlocking Financial Freedom and The Robotic Retirement, is a writer, slow-wealth advocate, and compassionate guide for midlife reinvention.

Mel believes wealth isn't speed-it's stability, dignity, choice, breathing room, and a future that feels safe to step into. Through a blend of behavioural finance, midlife psychology, and calm-wealth principles, Mel helps readers create lives they can actually live inside-slowly, steadily, and without shame.
