But it also requires a financial investment i can't afford (investing comes after saving, and I'm not even at a point of saving yet!).

The writings of Enlightenment theorists? And the way it currently continues to impoverish other people and the Earth we live on? I'd rather not. I also don't want to end up bereft of anything, unable yo support myself in old age, but...
