Struggling With Ethics vs. Profits on My FIRE Journey! 😰💸

Hey friends, I’m Alex, and I’ve been quietly working toward financial independence for years. Lately, though, I can’t shake this nagging feeling at work. My job in finance means I’m constantly making investment decisions, but I’m deeply troubled by the idea that some of these companies might be causing real harm in the world. It feels like everywhere I turn, profit comes before people. My coworkers say it’s just the way things are—if I want to reach FIRE, I can’t worry about ethics. But is that really true? I worry that by ignoring these concerns, I’m just contributing to the bigger problems we all face. Has anyone else struggled with this? How do you balance your values with your career goals? I’d love to hear your thoughts because I’m honestly feeling lost. 😟 #JobCareer #Career #WorkplaceEthics
