About me

Hey there! My name is Arjun Shekdar, and I’m currently an 8th grader, soon to be starting my freshman year in high school. I am proud to be the founder of Money Trees: The Branches of Investing, where I share my insights and experiences about investing and the financial world. I truly hope you enjoy the content I write and post here. If you’re interested in collaborating with me or if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out at official.money.trees.2029@gmail.com. The name “Money Trees” holds special meaning for me — it’s inspired by one of my favorite artists, rapper Kendrick Lamar, who has a song titled “Money Trees” that I really admire. Plus, growing up, I was often told that money doesn’t grow on trees, so I wanted to explore the idea and see if it really could. My passion for investing began back in fifth grade when I first played a mock stock market game, and that early experience sparked a deep interest in finance that continues to this day. That’s the main reason I started Money Trees: The Branches of Investing — to share what I’ve learned and hopefully inspire and encourage you all to begin growing your own financial success. I hope my thoughts and posts are engaging and not too boring, especially compared to other experts out there.
