Join the Rebel Finance School Community 🌍
One Global Movement. Local Rebel Communities. 💪
The Rebel Finance School course started as a mini-experiment in 2020 with just 135 people attending. Since then it has grown into a global movement and in 2025 alone, 30,000 people from 54 countries joined the course! 🤯
Our mission? To help you take control of your finances and build the life you want, having fun along the way.
In the early days we (Alan and Katie) commented on every post in the RFS Facebook group but now that we’re averaging 102 posts a day… that’s one every 14 minutes… unfortunately it’s not feasible anymore! We’re very proud of how the community has grown and evolved and it’s become a wonderful forum where you guide, support and help each other.

This page is all about how you can connect with Rebels near you – on Facebook and WhatsApp. These groups are for support, accountability, and sharing wins. Finance can be fun, and we’re proving it together! 🎉
What’s the Difference Between Facebook and WhatsApp Groups?
✅ Facebook Groups = Big picture, course-wide conversations, announcements, and country-specific discussions. Great for asking questions and sharing resources.
✅ WhatsApp Groups = Local, real-time chats for accountability, meetups, and quick questions. Perfect for connecting with Rebels in your town or region.
📘 Official Facebook Groups
Join the main Rebel Finance School group or connect with your country-specific community:
If your country isn’t listed leave us a comment and tell us where we should build next. If you’re curious how this has spread into different countries, read the origin story here.
📱 WhatsApp Local Communities
Want to connect with Rebels in your area? Join a local WhatsApp group! These are community-led spaces for accountability, meetups, and support.

The WhatsApp groups are organised by geographical area into communities (a collection of groups in WhatsApp). The list below show the communities and the groups within them. Just click on the community name to join.

🌟 Want a Group for Your Town or Country?
We’d love to see more local Rebel communities! If your area isn’t listed, you can start a group and help us grow this movement.
👉 Leave a comment below. We’ll make a WhatsApp group, add it to this page and help you get started.
✅What These Groups are About
✅A place where you can organise meetups and talk about your finances in a safe, supportive and fun environment.
🚫Here’s what’s NOT okay:
❌ Spam or Sales – No selling, no affiliate links, no sneaky promos.
❌ Self-Promotion – This isn’t the place to pitch your business or services.
❌ Scams or Fake Accounts – If it smells fishy, it probably is.
✅ Please help us keep the community safe! If you see spam or suspicious activity, report it to the admins or remove it if you have permission.
Important Reminder
The Donegans will NEVER:
- Offer stock tips
- Ask you for money
- DM you for “special investment opportunities”
If you see anyone pretending to be us or posting dodgy advice, please report it immediately. Stay safe, Rebels! 💪
🎉 Let’s Keep It Rebel
Bring your best self, your quirkiest questions, and your biggest dreams. Be kind, be curious, and let’s make financial freedom the most fun revolution ever. Now go forth and Rebel – responsibly, of course 😉

I think most commonwealth countries would be interested in their own groups. I would love to see a Canadian group. Found it challenging following along the course and recommendations when they donβt always apply to us.
Hey Carrie, it is a challenge to make it globally accessible with all the different rules and accounts. Have you found how to do it in Canada? I think we 100% need a canadian group!
It would be lovely to have a meet up in the North East part of England. I live near Newcastle.
Have you joined the Newcastle group in the Northern UK community?
