When couples face the tension between impact investing and family financial security

My wife and I have been investing in a community development fund for two years because we believe in supporting local businesses, but the returns have been terrible and we're starting to question whether we're being financially irresponsible with money we might need for our kids' education. Neither of us wants to be the one to suggest pulling out because it feels like betraying our principles, but we also haven't been honest about how scared we're getting about our own financial future.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people discover that their commitment to social impact conflicts with their private fears about their own financial stability.
