FOUNDERS OF MONMAX & TAKING CONTROL OF OUR FUTURE
As parents in our 50s, we took a bold leap of faith—leaving our country of birth to immigrate to the UK for the sake of our children’s education and future. To make this life-changing move, we used our retirement savings to overcome the challenges of a weak exchange rate.
Once settled in our new home, we faced the reality of needing to rebuild our financial future. It became clear that traditional employment alone wouldn’t be enough to fund our retirement or give us the flexibility and security we desired. Determined to take control of our future, we explored countless business opportunities, learning from each experience along the way. We wanted a business we could both learn and build, a legacy we can hand off to our children one day.
That journey led us to the Launch You platform—a comprehensive online business education and earning program that empowers individuals to secure their financial future and achieve lasting independence.
Now, we’re passionate about sharing this opportunity with fellow expats or anyone who has made bold life decisions later in life and is searching for the right path to financial freedom. Whether you’ve relocated like us or are simply ready to embrace change, we’re here to help you build a future you can be proud of—no matter your age or stage in life.
OUR MISSION
At MonMax, we help people reboot their lives and rewrite the rules of retirement.
We empower individuals in their 50s and 60s—especially those living abroad or seeking a more flexible lifestyle—to take charge of their financial future by learning how to earn online using their existing life experience and new digital skills.
Through step-by-step guidance, personal support, and a connected community, we help our members build not just income, but renewed purpose, confidence, and freedom.
OUR VISION
At MonMax, we believe experience should be rewarded—not retired.
We help later-life expats and individuals in their 50s and 60s unlock financial freedom by turning life experience into online income. With the right tools and mindset, it's never too late to live boldly, earn flexibly, and create a life with no regrets—wherever in the world you are.
OUR WHY
We faced the same crossroads many do—the looming retirement trap, with limited options, rising costs, and a future that felt more uncertain than free.
We realized that while making a big life change can be scary, living with regret is even scarier. So we made the bold decision to take back control of our financial future.
Now, we’re committed to helping others do the same—because it’s never too late to choose freedom, purpose, and a life lived on your own terms.
