Katie and Alan
Katie retired at 35. Alan at 40. Not through clever tricks or insider secrets, but by learning how money actually works.
There were no lottery wins or inheritances, and we didn’t grow up knowing this stuff. We learned it the hard way, tested it on ourselves, and built a life where money stopped being something we worried about.
Since then, we’ve taught tens of thousands of people to take control of their finances through the completely free Rebel Finance School course. We keep it practical, fun (yes, learning about money can be fun) and non-judgemental. We meet you where you are and assume no prior knowledge.
No products. No upsells. No agenda.

FAQs
Are you selling something?
No. We are not here to pressure you into buying a programme at the end. Rebel exists to help people start and grow in a practical, honest, no-nonsense way. If we ever share extra opportunities or resources, there is no obligation attached.
Can I do another Rebel course in the future?
Yes! Many people come back for more support, a different format, or another step in their journey. We encourage you to come back, learn more and keep us updated on your journey.
Can I join late if the course has already started?
You can, though usually we encourage people to join from the beginning, because it helps the content make more sense.
Can I stay connected with the Rebel community?
We understand that community matters. We will provide routes so you can stay connected with other participants and the wider Rebel network.
Do I have to attend every session?
We strongly recommend attending as many sessions as you can, because each one builds on the last. That said, we know life happens. If you miss one, do not panic. Just come back to the next session and keep going.
Do I need a laptop, or can I join on my phone?
A laptop can make things easier for the best online course experience, but you can often still take part on a phone or tablet if needed. Check the joining instructions for your course.
How do I prepare for the course?
You do not need to do loads of prep. Just come with an open mind, something to take notes on, and a willingness to test ideas.
What if I still do not feel ready by the end?
That is okay. Progress does not always look dramatic. For some people, the biggest win is clarity. For others, it is confidence, or a first small step. You do not need to have everything solved by the final session.
Will I get templates, worksheets, or resources?
In many cases, yes. Depending on the course, we may share tools, worksheets, prompts, or resources to help you take action during and after the course.
Will I meet other people on the course?
Yes. One of the best parts of Rebel is being around other local people who are figuring things out too. Many people find the community, encouragement, and shared energy hugely valuable.
