Today we have a very special interview for Bitch Nation. Recently I sat down with the inimitable (and individual!) Kara Perez, author of the upcoming book Green Money: How to Reduce Waste, Build Wealth, and Create a Better Future for All. Now, I don’t say this lightly, but… this book is giving me hope. Green Money “shares a vision of how you can break free from outdated financial advice and live a fulfilling life that values community, sustainability, and financial well-being. Filled with real-world anecdotes, cutting-edge research, and hands-on money exercises, this book equips you with the tools needed to take immediate action towards a brighter, greener future.” Essentially, this is your guide to putting your money where your climate is—making financial choices to support a greener, more environmentally sustainable future. For those of you squinting skeptically right now, I know what you’re thinking. But this is not another well-meaning finance guru offering individual solutions to systemic problems. Rather, Kara approaches the topic with the spirit of a community organizer and activist. Green Money is about our collective influence as much as it is our individual hopes for the future. It’s as optimistic and creative as it is ready to win this fight. And I don’t know about you, but I will be putting on my thrifted boots and following this movement (via public transit) all the way! Let’s get to the interview. [embed]https://youtube.com/watch?v=B7ShZArav1E&feature=oembed[/embed] Activist-turned-author Kara Perez You guys… we love Kara Perez. We’ve loved her for years, in fact. She was one of our first friends in the personal finance space and over the years it has been an absolute thrill to watch her blossom into… well, this: I haven’t seen that level of swag since we attended a financial media conference in bathrobes and sunglasses. She is eating. Kara is the founder of Bravely Go, an award winning international financial education company. There, she teaches us how to make sustainable money choices that benefit us and our world, focusing on money as a tool, not an end goal. And she has the millennial bona fides we use as a litmus test: she clawed her way up out of debt, student loans, and service industry jobs to eventually attain stability. She’s a Latina who grew up on food stamps, she adores thrift shopping (MY GIRL), and she’s an unrepentant progressive, intersectional feminist. So I guess what I’m saying is… pay attention to what this woman is doing, ok? Preorder Green Money today Green Money by Kara Perez is coming out on November 13th from John Wiley & Sons. That’s just a few short weeks away! But I’m not going to tell you to wait. In fact… don’t wait.

Both my husband and I grew up with frugal parents, so we come into frugality naturally and it has served us well.

If it doesn’t come naturally to you, don’t worry! You can learn to be frugal! Since my last […]
