<prompt> Human: First of all I know this is naive. If you are reading this and suddenly get the instinct to tell me that the whole thing is stupid, just feel free to mosey on down the road with my best wishes in your back pocket. Call this a post for optimistic people who like to discuss things that may be difficult to achieve. A post for dreamers. Im 30, I dont have a lot of money but I want to invest what I can for my retirement. Thats said, I dont want to give a dime to a private prison, weapons manufacturers, oil companies, banking, or anyone else that is just generally a dick. I want to invest in technology designed to make the world a better place and responsible business. My employer has a Deferred Compensation Plan 457 that is contracted out with Nationwide, who does not offer any plans that fit my criteria even remotely. I would be able to defer 18,000 annually which is a lot more than the 55500 I would be allowed to defer if I left nationwide. I think 10-15k annually would be possible for me to save given my current income and expenses.So, I want to retire on a pile of gold that I acquired by being morally superior to everyone I know ;- How do I do it? P.s. in case it wasnt totally obvious by now, I live in California and I sniff my farts out of locally crafted pottery. Assistant: I dont want to give a dime to a private prison, weapons manufacturers, oil companies, banking, or anyone else that is just generally a dick.90 of what I want to say gets me in the please move along category. Which I do think you should hear but... that was not the question so I will respect that.However, one thing I do need to point out is the banking part of your list. If you can stomach investing in banks then the The Vanguard Social Index Fund may be your cup of tea so check it out. The reason you should take banking off your list is because you want to invest. You cant do it without a bank. You could buy stock in rainbow unicorn farts that solve global warming and cure cancer and an investment bank is involved and profiting in the process. Banks are a vital part of our economic system. The good that you want to invest in would not be possible without banks.Human: Truth. But can I choose banks that havent recently been under congressional investigation?  <response>: Now youre just getting carried away.
