When I opened my 401B at school one of the questions they ask is if there are any companies you would be opposed to investing in. No one had asked me that before. I am glad to see some people are taking into consideration who the money supports.

I am truly a Dummy when it comes to this subject, but the first step is to admit you have a problem.

Thanks for the post and the giveaway. Good luck to all who enter, but especially me.

Thanks for reading, Kathy! Yep, there's certain companies I wouldn't want to be supporting, no matter the ROI!

We have a financial advisor and I admit that I haven't asked him whether there is any consideration given to the "social responsibility" aspect of our investments. (My guess would be "no" since he's never brought up the subject and neither have we.) Even though we have an advisor, David and I stay very involved in the decisions made regarding our account and pay close attention to how our money is being handled. At our next meeting, I now plan to bring up the issue of socially responsible investing. Thanks for info Kerri!

I have no money to invest, but if I did, I would definitely consult this book first. Thanks for this interview!
