Rebel Finance School - what am I missing?

After a few posts on here recommending RFS I started watching the YouTube videos and I just don't get it.

For those who are advocates, what did you like about it? I'm only a couple of weeks in but I find the Donegans nauseating and the presentations pretty poor. I was expecting something quite professional if thousands of people have been through the programme.

I agree with a lot of the underlying messages espoused so far (not all) so is it just a style preference? Does that mean it's not worth persevering as it'll always grate or has anyone else felt the same and got past it?

I agree! If only I had acquired the knowledge I have gained from RFS years ago, I would have done many things differently and would be a lot better off!
Still, as they say, it’s never too late to start making good choices!

Same, I would have started by putting the maximum in my workplace pension instead of the minimum! I'm 36 and it felt like it was too late, but now I'm determined to turn it around.

It's also made our decision to stay in our little flat instead of tripling our mortgage to buy a house a bit easier to swallow (although that doesn't stop me browsing on Rightmove all the time lusting after beautiful houses!)
