Today I finished paying off my OPD program debt! I can’t thank Yve Boucher and the others on the Money Mentors team enough for all of their guidance. Throughout the 2 years that I worked with Yve she was always a call or an email away and I received guidance when I needed it and in a timely manner. I recommend Money Mentors to anyone that is struggling to get back into good financial shape. Shanae!! Meara

Money Mentors rescued me from a debt problem I could never seem to overcome. After years of best intentions, trying to be responsible, borrowing from one source to pay another, and then losing my job, it became impossible to just get by another month. The stress and anxiety were bringing me down, and worse, bringing my wife down with me. I feared it would feel like defeat, and an embarrassment, to reach out for help, but I could not have been more wrong.I reached out to Money Mentors. We met with Alexander Martin who guided us through our options and setting up my OPD program. Alex was fantastic – empathetic, patient, kind, informative and thorough. For the first time in years it felt like there was light at the end of the tunnel. The strain and stress on our immediate lives changed almost overnight.It has taken some time, but the debt is now cleared. My responsibilities to creditors have been met, which was important to me personally. My wife and I communicate better about finances and budgeting. Now I’m working on gradually restoring my credit record to good standing, with a clear plan and timeline in place to accomplish that.I can’t imagine getting here without the incredible help of Money Mentors, we’re very grateful.Thank you, Alex!

No-Spend Challenge: Spring Clean Your Budget!

This May, challenge yourself to go a whole month without spending in one specific category — dining out, clothing, entertainment… you choose!

The idea is simple:

Cut just one area of spending and redirect that money toward savings, paying down debt, or something you’ve been putting off.

Think of it as spring cleaning for your budget — a fresh start without the clutter of unnecessary spending.
