In this episode, the guys discuss socially responsible investing. What options do we have in Canada, and what we might want in our portfolio. We’ll sample a few new beers as usual too. If you found this podcast you’re probably familiar with the FI/RE movement that has grown in popularity recently. Here at the FI Garage, we’re all on the path to FI, however, we consider the RE part optional.
