How to Use Your Wallet to Create Social Change, with Tanja Hester The MapleMoney Show

    • Investing

For most of us, price is the driving factor behind our spending decisions. But should we be looking deeper into the things we buy? My guest this week joins the show to explain how we can use our wallets to affect change in the world around us.
Tanja Hester retired early from a career in political and social change communications to devote all her time to purpose-driven projects. Tanja is the author of the award-winning book, “Work Optional: Retire Early the Non-Penny-Pinching Way”, called “the best step-by-step guide to retire early” by MarketWatch.
She’s used her leadership position within the personal finance media community to push for more social and environmental awareness. Her upcoming book is called Wallet Activism: How to Use Every Dollar You Spend, Earn, and Save as a Force for Change. Tanja sat down with me this week to discuss some of the concepts from the book.
