An honest, exploratory conversation
As we all feel the effects of late stage capitalism, many of us are asking the question: does investing for retirement clash with my ethics? Am I doing harm by investing in my Roth IRA? What are the alternatives?
As someone who both teaches investing and relentlessly questions capitalism, I have been thinking about these questions a lot. I'd love to share my thinking, and I would love to know yours too.

Meet me!
Because I'm not just another #finfluencer!
Hi, I'm Amanda! You may know me as @dumpster.doggy on the internet.
My business is called Invested Development, and my aim is to make investing education accessible and fun. If you have felt left out of important conversations about money and investing, my work is for you!
After graduating with degrees in economics and communications, I went to work in investment management. I did this for about 6 and a half years. My primary role was called "investment counselor;" I was the person in direct communication with our high-net-worth clients, relaying portfolio strategy and answering all investing-related questions, on the spot, every day. To do this, I earned my Series 65 license, which is legally required for anyone acting as an investment adviser and providing recommendations.
But helping rich men get richer? Yeah, that was never going to be my life's calling. And now, with my business, Invested Development, I've taught over 25,000 students—mostly women—how to invest.
I am also an anti-war, anti-ICE, pro-Palestine activist.
