Another Project Money season has come to a close! Give a big congrats to our winners, Dawn and Marco, and catch up with each team as they reflect on their journey.

Meet the Season 17 Teams

Ifeayani is a physical therapist focused on helping patients regain their strength, mobility and independence. He’s also a busy single dad to three young kids. Ifeanyi wants to use Project Money as an opportunity to pay off debt and build a solid foundation for his family. Dawn, a stay-at-home mom and currently going back to school to earn her bachelor’s degree, and Marco, a pipelayer and woodworker, have three young children together and share a passion for selling goods at flea markets. With help from Project Money, they’re hoping to turn paycheck-to-paycheck living into a life they can enjoy without financial stress. Emily, a Health and Wellness Director, and Maddie, a Medical Sales Rep and part-time Athletic Trainer, are newlyweds and just recently bought their first home – their dog George is settling in nicely! Emily and Maddie are hoping Project Money builds their financial knowledge and confidence as they begin their journey of starting a family. Kelli’s been a full-time elementary school teacher for over 22 years – while also working part-time at the YMCA and being a mom to two busy teenagers, Shaela and Hayden. Since her divorce 10 years ago, Kelli has been working hard to provide for herself and her kids. With Project Money, she’s ready to stop stressing and start living.
