Emerging Stage Green and Yellow Companies?

[Eyal Bor]

Hello guys,

I've been getting into personal finance, I just got my first job and I don't want to mess up handling it my profits, I want to save up and be frugal to be able to focus on the important things (self-actualization+life purpose).

I've been reading some books and everyone there's the recommendation that I should invest my saved money, so it get my money to work and grow (makes sense). So I've been getting into stock market investing, and many people suggest that if I don't want to spend too much time investigating the companies and conference calls (I got more interesting things to do), then a basic index fund with an average 9.5% return will do, so if compounds overtime and I have enough to buy a house in a decade or two, or for retirement. This sounds like an easy/confortable thing to do, but I was questioning if that's the most concious place to put my money. Afterall, with an index fund like the S&P500 I would be simply be funding quite low conciousness giants like McDonalds. 

My question is, isn't society evolving into Stage Green anyway? Wouldn't it be a smarter move to invest in more Stage Green companies say Tesla (which is booming right now), Beyond Meat and stuff like that.

Do you know any Stage Green and Stage Yellow companies that would be much more meaningful to invest in (still not the most high conciouss but it's something) and that society will be likely will be moving towards and make big profits in the coming years? How does Stage Green/Yellow responsible personal finance look like?

Thanks

This is an inevitable clash of motives and ideals.
If you want to make money through investing you have to invest in these hard-orange companies. Sadly there is no way around it if you want to create an income out of stocks.
If you invest into progressive and idealistic companies you invest into their ideals, but don´t expect to get much money back for it.

The best way in my opinion is to totally avoid investing, if this creates a conflict within yourself. Or you should see it as a short-term solution for keeping you aflout for the next 5-20 years, while you work on yourself to become highly creative and a massive value provider.

Tony Robbings approach to investing and financial management is in my opinion much more progressive, than what you hear every where else.

In a nutshell:
You create such an abundance of wealth through your investments and businesses, so you can then channel this abundance into more philantropic projects like giving out free meals for the poor. I think this is a good first step and compromise, and from there you can work on creating higher consciousness income sources that support your philantropic projects - but you have to  start somewhere
