Who is a mentor?

A mentor is defined as a trusted guide or counselor, typically someone who has more experience and knowledge in a particular area and shares that wisdom to help others grow. In the context of personal finance, a mentor often provides guidance, advice, and support to individuals seeking to improve their financial literacy, make informed decisions, or navigate the complexities of managing their finances. This relationship is characterized by trust and the mentor's commitment to fostering the mentee's development and understanding. The other choices describe roles related to financial services, such as providing loans, administering financial aid, or offering scholarships, which do not encompass the broader, supportive relationship of mentorship.
