WELCOME TO REBEL RETIREMENT!
Here's what we think.

Hi, welcome to Rebel Retirement! We're Marlene and David, and this is what we think about retirement. In an ideal world, we would have all the money we want to carry us from birth through death. However, that's not the case for most people of our generation. Furthermore, unless you have a crystal ball, no one knows what the future holds. Life has no guarantees. Putting off retirement because of money isn't smart.
At Rebel Retirement, we share empowering content for independent individuals who know what they value and choose freedom over following the crowd. Striving to empower our generation, our articles reflect a lifestyle promoting positivity and encouragement for living your retirement dreams.
Are you retired or near retirement and worried about your financial future? Not sure your savings will last? Lost money in the stock market? Ups and downs prevent you from saving as much as you would have liked. Don't know how or if you'll ever be able to retire? Our Just in Time Retirement series is for you! It's FREE. Get started now!

In order to grasp how Lean thinking works, I’ll briefly describe the concepts of 5S and Muda (the seven wastes) from the Toyota Production System.
We all fall into the trap of collecting things and neglect the mounting cost of ownership.
