Millennials and Gen Xers already know that the workplace has changed since our parent’s times. We can no longer count on our employers to safeguard our retirements. Not only that, we see many of them take advantage of the weak and oppress our colleagues. All in the name of profits.
When a corporation is beholden to its shareholders, wouldn’t it make sense that we should become the shareholders? We can use our collective power to influence real change that benefits us and our neighbors.
All the while, we can take advantage of the company’s profits to strengthen our own financial position. Now, more than ever in history, access to wealth building has been democratized.
Investing has never been more accessible or affordable. Anyone can open a trading account on their phone and it is our time to take advantage of these tools.
We can build a secure financial foundation as well as use this influence to do good.
