If you’re here, chances are money has felt more confusing than it should.

I’m Kevin Stewart, and for over twenty years I’ve worked as a Financial Services Broker and educator, helping everyday Americans navigate debt, budgeting, and financial decisions that often feel overwhelming. I’ve sat across the table from people who were working hard, doing their best, and still felt like they were falling behind.

What I learned is this: most financial stress doesn’t come from irresponsibility. It comes from never being taught how the system actually works.

We’re expected to manage taxes, debt, investing, savings, and inflation without ever being shown how these pieces connect. That confusion creates anxiety, frustration, and the feeling of constantly reacting instead of building.

That realization led me to create the Money Tree and Me platform and write From Surviving to Thriving. My focus is simple: provide clear, practical systems that work in real life—without hype, judgment, or unrealistic expectations.

My goal is to help you understand money in a way that reduces stress, builds confidence, and allows you to finally feel in control of your financial life.

You’re not behind.

You were just never shown the map. Well, here's your cheatsheet. It's time you had a fair shot.
