"Because if we are going to stick with a budget long-term - have something that actually works for us - it needs to reflect the things that we love and our values," says MMI's Kate Bulger. #MMInsights

Love seeing the alignment with the approach of our Money Management International Peer Advocate Program reflected in this study! "Yet while social stigma was a key factor in keeping consumers stuck in a debt cycle, social support was an important part of the solution." "Community-based debt reduction courses should encourage frequent, supportive, and non-judgmental disclosure of their participants' struggles with debt, emphasizing the commonality in debt experiences shared by participants."

"I've had an incredibly good customer experience with MMI." Congratulations and thank you to our counseling and client support teams, led by Robb Czyzewski, Jamie Payne, Jim Cockerham, Emanuel Rivero and Michelle Chacon, on the consistent positive feedback we receive!

In 2023, we spoke to the leaders of three organizations who support our communities by helping individuals achieve #FinancialWellness. Watch Here: https://ow.ly/rhwm50SZBeK This video features: Mike Croxson, CEO of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC); Michelle Jones, Chief External Affairs Officer of Money Management International; & Kristen Holt, CEO of GreenPath Financial Wellness.

As also seen in the MMI Consumer Distress Dashboard (moneym.org/trends), folks in the most trouble are younger adults ages 18-39, according to a consumer alert on #creditcard #debt by WHEC-TV News10NBC's Deanna Dewberry. “Let’s say you have a lower credit score or a lot of debt, more than $5,000 or $6,000, then maybe you’re better off with non-profit credit counseling firms like Money Management International and GreenPath. They can often negotiate something like a 7 or 8 percent rate over four or five years,” said Bankrate's Ted Rossman.
