What's the actual question

Dear Prudence,

My wife is in finance and invests in things like Tesla and listens to YouTube finance bros all the time. All the time. More and more it feels like our values around sustainability are very different. When I bring this up, she is dismissive and says I don’t like who she is as a person. I don’t think this is true. As a Black feminist, I’m clear that capitalism will not save us. I’m not sure what do to.

    What is your concern here?? 

    Capitalism may not save you but do you want to save for retirement?  I feel like there's a way to acknowledge that you don't like the system but also you need to consider the long term environment and savings you need.

    Like, I'll now never buy a Tesla as long as Musk is associated w/ the company but I'm not going to be against an electric car company and I stillw ant to know what I can do to have investments so I'm not working at 80.

    Ethical investing is a choice. You can choose to put your funds in ethical and responsible funds and companies. If your finances are combined, this is a financial planning choice in which you get equal say. If your finances are not combined, you get to choose your own investments and not worry about hers.
