Episode #4 — Investing in Your Financial Future and the Future of the Planet

To create a sustainable future for both ourselves and our planet, we all need to put our money to good use. Like we say every episode, your dollar is a vote – so it’s important to vote wisely. This is especially true when it comes to investing, which compounds the impact of your money powerfully over time – which makes it doubly important to invest in companies and people who are working to build a sustainable future.

To talk about sustainable investing, we’re joined by Lindsey Woodward of Abacus Wealth Partners. Abacus Wealth Partners is a progressive financial services company committed to making the world a better place through investing. Abacus helps clients make the best use of their financial resources by investing in sustainable companies. Lindsey Woodward is a Certified Financial Planner with Abacus, where she helps individuals align their values and goals with their money. 

In this episode Lindsey talks about the basics of investing and why it’s available to everyone. We also discuss how you can invest in companies that benefit people and the planet while also saving for your future. We dive into saving for retirement if you’re working for a company and how you can save even if you don’t have access to a traditional 401K. And Lindsey also runs through some of the more sustainable options for investing, how to approach your HR about making the switch to sustainable investment vehicles, and how Abacus is helping people around the country align their daily values with their financial goals.
