Meet Curtis May

For more than three decades, Curtis May has worked with business owners, families, and investors who were successful by every measure—except the one that mattered most: control over their money.

He consistently saw the same issues.

People were losing money to taxes, debt, and unnecessary financial inefficiencies without realizing it. Financial planning conversations focused heavily on retirement projections but rarely addressed the cashflow challenges happening in the present. And business owners in particular struggled to balance growth with day-to-day financial stability.

Curtis recognized that traditional financial planning wasn’t designed for how entrepreneurs actually live and operate. It prioritized the future at the expense of the present, and it relied too heavily on financial products instead of financial education. That gap became the driving force behind his work.

Developing the Money4Life Blueprint

After years of coaching clients and observing where wealth was unintentionally slipping away, Curtis created the Money4Life Blueprint-a practical framework that starts with understanding cash flow first.

The system helps clients:

Clarify how money moves through their business and household
Identify dollars that are being lost unnecessarily
Build liquidity through a Private Reserve strategy
Put proper protections in place
And create a long-term plan for wealth and legacy

The Blueprint provides what most business owners lack: a structured way to control their money and make decisions confidently.

A Career Built on Education

As the founder of Practical Wealth Advisors and host of The Practical Wealth Show Podcast, Curtis has built his career around one principle:

Financial products are tools; education is the strategy.

He teaches clients that the more they understand, the less risk they take, and the greater control they gain. His focus has always been on helping people save money, avoid unnecessary losses, and build sustainable wealth—without giving up their lifestyle or relying on unpredictable markets.
