Retirement is a lifelong journey

Few people understand the importance of money and how it can be used as a tool to live richly, not wealthily. IBR aims to put all the information in one, easy-to-access, free-forever place.
What is your life energy worth?

Financial literacy is the start
Some people are lucky enough that making money isn't the problem. But too often these people are caught in a consumerist trap: every dollar they make they spend. Lifestyle creep is real - but it isn't a mandate.
Your values, not someone else's

IBR is about learning the role money plays in your happiness, finding out how much is enough and gathering real-world data from mini retirements to increase the chances of a happy and successful "forever retirement."
About Us
Ryan Keawekane
Author, Marketer
Born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii, I'm the youngest of four in a humble family. First in my family with a college degree (Linguistics from the University of Washington) and one of few with a white-collar job making good money. I was effectively financially illiterate until I met William and he helped me build a strong understanding of money and eventually finances and wealth building. Now I want to share that with others who aren't fortunate enough to marry someone who helped me gain confidence in money matters.
I also write books: speculative fiction, fantasy and even sci-fi set in Hawaii or in a time-space inspired by Hawaii. My two Hawaiian historical romance novellas, Salt and Turmeric, are available on Amazon.
