With everything going on in the world — the climate crisis, wars overseas, the widening wealth gap — it can often feel like our voices don't matter and we have little control over the future. Although it can feel like that, the good news is that it doesn't have to be that way. Especially if we make sure to use our money for good. And that's exactly what Kara Perez explores in her book Green Money: How to Reduce Waste, Build Wealth, and Create a Better Future for All. She offers insight into some of the biggest obstacles we're facing, such as the push for overconsumption, reliance on fossil fuels, and unjust systems, while also offering practical solutions for how we can all play our part in securing a better future for us and the generations behind us. She also provides specific guidance on how we can build wealth and achieve financial freedom without having to compromise our ethics or values. In other words, when it comes to being more green with your money but also making sure you take care of yourself, you actually can do both! This book holds a really special place in my heart because Kara and I were working on our books at the same time, plus I've known Kara for years and is one of the most genuine people in the personal finance space. I hope you enjoy this interview and her book as much as I did.
