The greatest power we have--especially when political leaders won't move quickly enough--is how we use our money: where we shop, what we buy, where we live, what institutions we entrust with our money, who we work for, and where we donate determines the trajectory of our society and our planet.

After spending most of her career as a consultant to Democratic politics and progressive issue campaigns, and before that as a public radio journalist, Tanja retired early at the age of thirty-eight. She documented the process on her award-winning financial independence\/retire early (FIRE) blog, Our Next Life. She's been an outspoken voice in the personal finance media community to consider systemic barriers and opportunity gaps, rather than simply pushing people with lots of advantages already to accumulate more wealth, part of why the New York Times called her \"the matriarch of the women's FIRE movement.\" She hosts a podcast also called Wallet Activism, writes an occasional opinion column for MarketWatch, and lives in a burgeoning permaculture food forest she's growing in North Lake Tahoe, California, with her husband, Mark Bunge, and a flock of tiny rescue dogs.
