Are you hoping to be financially well off in the future? When you retire? Or before? Perhaps, you need a little help, a little advice, to point you in the direction of a financially secure future.<\/p>\n<p>Help is here.<\/p>\n<p>Keva Sturdevant, a financial adviser, founder of KS Summit Consulting, and a Toledo native, has spent the last three decades in Washington, DC, working for a number of prestigious financial firms and helping clients prepare for their futures. She returned home about two years ago and has already established a practice helping clients in the Glass City do the same.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, October 24, Sturdevant, along with her partner Spencer Heath, the co-managing partner of KS Summit Consulting, gathered together some of their local clients, and those who might be clients in the future, for a discussion at The Last Drop on Summit Street. The discussion \u2013 The Wealth Table \u2013 was an opportunity to exchange ideas and focus on the concepts of financial management.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn open dialogue around all things money,\u201d said Sturdevant as she opened the discussion.<\/p>\n<p>The discussion centered on three basic topics at the heart of such planning: how to manage risk in the stock market; the $10,000 generational wealth challenge; retirement readiness.<\/p>\n<p>For some people, financial management may be a matter of making money, for others the necessity might be in the management of money they have already acquired.<\/p>\n<p>Several of those present are already clients of Sturdevant and one recalled a first session with her during which she cautioned him: \u201cYou have already made the money, now you have to protect the money.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hence, managing risk in the stock market.<\/p>\n<p>But for many in the community, building generational wealth is also critical for long-term family financial well-being. Hence the $10,000 generational wealth challenge \u2013 investing money and leaving it untouched over the decades.<\/p>\n<p>And planning for the future includes preparing for retirement. \u201cWe don\u2019t give enough attention to retirement,\u201d said Sturdevant kicking off that part of the discussion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeva Sturdevant delivered an outstanding financial planning intimate event for individuals preparing for retirement,\u201d said one of the participants. \u201cWhat stood out to me the most was her trustworthy approach and open, engaging manner. She created an atmosphere where financial topics felt approachable and meaningful, making it easier to understand the importance of thoughtful investment decisions and planning for the future. Her genuine communication style and willingness to engage with her audience made the experience both informative and reassuring. I would highly recommend Keva to anyone approaching retirement who wants guidance and greater confidence in planning for their financial future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a discussion that is open to all those who are interested in building wealth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe wealth table was created to change the way people talk about money,\u201d Sturdevant told The Truth. \u201cIt\u2019s an educational roundtable designed to provide a trusted, judgment-free space where individuals and families can have open and honest conversations about financial matters they may have overlooked, ask questions they never thought to ask and explore opportunities they didn\u2019t know existed. Whether we are discussing retirement readiness, protecting investments from unnecessary risk or building generational wealth, my mission is to replace financial uncertainty with knowledge, confidence and a clear path forward. Because meaningful financial change begins with an honest conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Ed. Note: Stay tuned.
