“Make a strict plan on how to spend money every month and divide your necessary and non-necessity expenses,” says Shawn Carpenter, the Chairman and CEO of StockAlarm.

“You can cook food at home instead of going out often and cancel unwanted subscriptions to keep costs low.”

Carpenter also recommends choosing an area to live in that has a low cost of living and possibly earning some extra cash through a flexible side hustle if you feel $1,500 per month won’t be enough to live comfortably in retirement.

So, what is the real meaning of ‘fintech for good’? Erik Severinghaus, founder and CEO of Bloomfilter, the process miner for software development explores how combining profitability and purpose is the way forward and that focusing on just one of them too much is not the best way forward.

“It means to use our technology not only to earn profits but also to create a positive difference. By reducing the cost of financial services and investing in projects for clean energy, these activities are not just additional tasks. They form the central part of how we run our businesses, drawing in clients who pay attention to where their money goes.

“‘Fintech for good’ doesn’t mean you have to pick between making money or having a meaningful cause; it’s about combining them into an approach that benefits all parties. It demonstrates that a successful company can be both financially rewarding and hold strong ethical values. As we progress, it’s thrilling to lead this trend and show that finance can really be a positive influence.

Ghazenfer Mansoor, CEO of Technology Rivers, a software development agency which was impacted by the outage, spoke to Techopedia about the event. “After something like this happens, it’s very important to understand your situation and where you are now,” Mansoor explained. Technology Rivers began with a detailed examination of their systems to grasp the complete impact. “I suggest you do the same for your operations,” Mansoor said. “Find any problems or mistakes with data and be sure your IT setup is very secure to stop more issues from happening.” When questioned about long-term actions, Mansoor said the key is to have a disaster recovery plan. Mansoor said that a long-term important strategy is to make tech investments more varied and not “place every digital egg in the same basket”. Using systems from several different providers can help avoid many problems if one of them fails
