  • I'm probably not who Money Mentors is really targeting, so perhaps my review isn't worth much. I went in to discuss paying down my credit card debt. I'm still at a point where I am well able to pay off my debt if I apply myself to it, but my issue is that I tend to think 'I've been doing so well paying my cards off, I can make one small purchase...' and before I know it, I'm back where I started. So I went to Money Mentors with the goal of discussing my situation, discussing ways that I could be more accountable and ways to avoid using my credit cards. My complaint with the service is that it is purely financial focused. When I asked for advice of ways not to use my credit cards, it basically boiled down to 'Don't use them.' I asked if there was a way I could be set up with an accountability buddy (e.g: someone to do a monthly check in with, so that I would be accountable in my spending) my counsellor suggested I look for an app that had that. While I am sure there are many people who come to Money Mentors who just genuinely don't know anything about finances and can be put on the straight and narrow with some sound financial advice, I think that a lot of people wind up in debt because of the psychological and emotional components that come with spending, keeping up with the Jones, etc. I would like to see Money Mentors focus on those areas as well, as I think that overspending is often a symptom of underlying issues. So, Money Mentors is great if you genuinely know nothing about money, but if you're someone who knows about good financial management but for whatever reason can't make yourself financially responsible, I wouldn't recommend them unless you're seeking to enter the Orderly Payment of Debts plan.
