‘I heard about the Money Mentors through a friend…I thought, ‘that’s something that concerns me’, because I had lot of trouble with money, and I was looking for ways how I can be able to manage money. It’s never been easy for me, for different reasons. However ever since I’ve been coming to attend these sessions, it has really been very good and very useful. They help you to save money, and have a long-term plan and a long-term goal. The experience that I have gained from here, I will take that with me for life, also share that with friends and family for a very very long time. I would definitely recommend people to take the same steps that I did.’
