Welcome to Rebel Retirement!
Welcome to Rebel Retirement! We are thrilled to introduce ourselves. We're Marlene and David, the husband and wife team behind this revolutionary approach to retirement. We have pooled our expertise and experience to create a unique perspective on retirement that will inspire and empower you to live your best-retired life.
The Media Myth
Financial planners often suggest that we need a substantial amount of money to retire comfortably. However, the reality is that most people haven't saved enough to retire and meet their retirement needs for the next 20 years. Saving half of our income over 40 years to prepare for retirement hasn't always been feasible for everyone.
As productive citizens, we’ve been in the workforce, raised families, and had a life! Accumulating as much money as is suggested for a decent retirement isn't always possible.
If you:
- haven’t saved
- didn't save as much as you would have liked
- lost money in a stock market crash
Don't feel hopeless. You're not alone!
At Rebel Retirement, we understand.
We’re boomers. We’re retired. We live a life of abundance.
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. Living now before it's too late, is.
We started this website to inspire others to live a happy, healthy, productive retirement. Our mission is to empower others to retire without worrying about money.
How does this help you?
At Rebel Retirement, we offer an alternative retirement solution. It's a value-based retirement lifestyle called Just in Time Retirement. It's what we live by, and want to share this perspective with you.
Just in Time Retirement combines the Toyota Production System, the Law of Attraction, and the Power of Now to empower those who desperately want to retire, but fear they can’t because of money.
Through experience, we know that if you treat your retirement as your business and decide what you value most, you can retire, follow your dreams, and lead a happy life!
Through informative and positive articles, we inspire others to reach their full retirement potential.
Just in Time Retirement in a Nutshell
Armed with a "lean" mindset, retiring becomes an opportunity to confront one’s ego and to create an experience based on value as opposed to fear and peer pressure.
But don't misunderstand.
Being lean is not about having less, or living minimally. It's about deciding what you value and getting rid of the waste.
By sharing what we know, we empower others who want to retire but fear they can’t because of money.
