What Our Clients Have To Say
“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 Unfortunately, the debt was created by my half sibling and my father from stealing and reselling my property and not paying my bills and stealing my profits. So that’s awesome.. sometimes it’s not your fault.”
“Sharon’s ability to breakdown complicated business topics into easy to understand concepts is second to none! Her support has elevated my business acumen and I’m grateful for her guidance, mentorship, and wisdom. Thank you for the amazing work you do!”
“I am ashamed to be writing this review so many months after receiving the wonderful and timely advice from Alexander Martin, Counsellor with Money Mentors, Calgary, Alberta. I contacted him after carefully reviewing their website, back in November of 2024, and he graciously and extremely patiently explained the various aspects of handling my personal debt. I was so ashamed for allowing myself to fall into this trap of credit card debt. I should have known better. And for that reason, I was adamant that I needed to pay off the debt myself. I was not prepared to forgive myself for the fact that had I not been diagnosed with 3 types of cancer in 2016 and forced to quit work, I would have been able to meet my own commitments, but I chose to remain angry, lonely, and growing further in debt with increasing interest fees monthly. I was 75, and if I could just get a part time job... but after a whole year of applications and job fairs, that was not to be. Alexander was so kind; he explained the facts, and how so many Canadians fall into this trap annually, whether through illness, bad choices, job loss, or whatever other circumstance. He eased my guilt, and allowed me to see the light again. While Money Mentors does not handle the particular solution to my own problem, he was the guiding light on my journey towards the rest of my life and freedom. I did not bite the bullet finally until August of 2025, by the time I selected a Trustee to work with, but I am now well on my way. Thank you Alexander; I could not have done it without you! Barbara”
