minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish41•17 hours agoYes. Investing is always worth it unless you have credit card debit. Set it up to automatically invest into the lowest fee index fund your broker offers.
minus-square@TehdastehdaslinkEnglish19•15 hours agoThe lowest fee ETHICAL index fund. Careless investing is how we got evil corporations.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•edit-22 hours agoCan you recommend a single ethical index fund? I’ve been searching for the past decade Every time I find one, I look at their holdings and see companies like Google, Meta, Tesla, and for profit banks.

minus-square@agent_nyctolink2•6 hours agoThese are pretty cool and I didn’t know about them! I’m pretty me to investing, do you just look up ESGs or something?
minus-squareXIIIesqlink4•8 hours agoI wasn’t trying to say that ethical funds don’t exist, I’m well aware of them. I was saying that when money is on the line, loyalty and ethics often end up second place.
