How families balance impact investing with generational differences about money

My sister and I manage our elderly mother's portfolio and want to shift toward impact investing, but Mom is from a generation that prioritizes financial security above all else and doesn't understand why we'd 'waste money on feelings.' We're caught between respecting her wishes, honoring our own values, and trying to figure out what's actually in her best financial interest, and we haven't been honest about how much this disagreement is really about different generational approaches to money and responsibility.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Adult children face the tension between their values-based investment approach and an elder's traditional focus on financial security.
