Short answer? NEVER.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’m too old to get my finances in order” or “It’s too late for me to build wealth” — consider this your divine wake-up call. Whether you're in your 40s, 50s, or 60s, the goddess energy within you is alive and powerful. And trust me, she is more than capable of taking charge of your financial future.
Let’s take a cue from Persephone, the goddess of transformation. She reminds us that change is possible at any stage of life. Managing money like a goddess isn’t about how early you start — it’s about starting at all. Even if you’ve spent decades avoiding financial conversations, that doesn’t mean you’re doomed.
Here’s the truth: every dollar you save and invest today is a seed for your future. Even small, consistent actions can grow into something powerful, thanks to the magic of compound interest.
One of the biggest myths women believe is that if they didn’t start saving in their 20s, they’ve missed the boat. The money train — left the station! That's absolute nonsense. Let’s bust that myth right now with a little financial alchemy.
Say you start investing $200 a month at age 45 in an index fund with an average 10% annual return. By the time you turn 65, you’d have approximately $151,873—and nearly $103,873 of that would be interest alone. That’s money your money made for you, while you slept, worked, and lived your best life.
Not sure where these numbers came from? Here's a chart of how compound interest works:
Now, imagine you start at 55 and invest the same $200 monthly for 10 years. You’d still accumulate about $40,969, with nearly $17,000 coming from interest. Is that millions? No. But is it life-changing? Absolutely.

Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, teaches us that abundance is a mindset. No matter your age, you can begin making empowered financial decisions. Here’s what you can do RIGHT NOW to manage money like a goddess:
Ignoring your money won’t make it grow. Look at your bank accounts, debts, and investments with curiosity, not judgment.
Even if it’s $50 a month, start! The point is progress, not perfection.
That subscription you forgot about? That impulse shopping habit? Let them go. Your goddess energy is too powerful to be wasted on what doesn’t align with your financial future.
Can you ask for a raise? Start a side hustle? Monetize a skill? The goddess within you is resourceful — tap into that creative power.
