Scenario

When socially responsible investing conflicts with career choices in couples

My spouse is passionate about divesting from all fossil fuel investments but I work in the energy sector and feel like they're indirectly criticizing my career and our livelihood, and we haven't figured out how to separate our investment choices from our feelings about my job. Every conversation about our portfolio becomes about whether I should change careers and that's not the same discussion.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are struggling to separate investment philosophy from career identity, allowing portfolio decisions to become proxy battles about life choices.
