I'm going to go with mealybug. And your plant is more commonly known
as a jade plant. A money tree is something completely different.

No problem. :) There are only a few plant problems I can identify
with much accuracy. Spider mites are easy, scale is easy. I get
confused between mealybugs and powdery mildew sometimes because
the mealybugs will spread that white stuff over the leaves of the
plant which makes it look like powdery mildew. But those big lumps
of white that I saw on a few of the stems looks like mealybugs to
me. If you take a pointed object, you might be able to scrape off
the white stuff enough to find a bug down under there.
