A tech employee recently discovered a jaw-dropping pay gap between them and a colleague with the same title and similar experience. While they earn $60,000 a year, their coworker, &#8220;John,&#8221; makes $115,000. The two work at a large tech company, and the disparity sparked a flood of advice and opinion on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Salary/comments/1l6vjfc/discovered_a_huge_pay_gap_what_now/">Reddit</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Merger, A Staffing Agency And Two Very Different Paychecks</h2>
The original poster explained that they lead two teams—including one that the poster built from scratch—while John is just a member of one. They have been at the company for two years; John has been there for three. The key difference is that John came from a startup that was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/05/45602719/openais-acquisition-of-jony-ives-startup-poses-threat-to-apples-dominance">acquired by the tech giant</a>, keeping his original salary intact. The poster, on the other hand, was hired post-merger through a staffing agency.

</ul>
&#8220;He was hired as part of a startup that was bought by this tech company,&#8221; OP wrote. &#8220;As such, his higher pay carried over after the merge. I was hired after the merge through a staffing agency.&#8221;
OP later updated the post to add: &#8220;I found out today that the company is trying very hard to find a reason to get rid of John, which is at least partially because he makes so much. Maybe our pay difference was for the best lol!&#8221;
This revelation added a surprising twist to the situation. While OP may be underpaid, John&#8217;s inflated salary appears to have made him a target. Many companies are always looking for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45748544/walmart-leverages-automation-and-ai-to-cut-costs-and-grow-paving-the-way-for-other-retailers-report">ways to cut costs</a>. If they think someone is overpaid and replaceable, some start building a case to get rid of them.
What started as a frustrating realization for OP might ultimately end in job loss for John. The title of &#8220;highest-paid peer&#8221; can sometimes come with a bullseye.
Trending: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/a-cure-for-osteoarthritis-powered-by-everyday-investors-cytonics-is-looking-to-beat-big-pharma-and-disrupt-a-390-billion-market"> Invest in Cytonics and help disrupt a $390B Big Pharma stronghold</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Get An Offer, Be Ready To Leave</h2>
Commenters were quick to point out a harsh truth: negotiating power is everything.
&#8220;Apply to another job and get an offer. Use that offer to negotiate higher pay at your current job. Then—maybe—take the new job, it might be time to move in a new direction,&#8221; one commenter advised. Another added, &#8220;There is no maybe. Take the new job.&#8221;
Many echoed the same idea: internal raises tend to be small, and significant jumps usually <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45793441/vincent-chan-reveals-the-top-financial-mistake-people-make-64-of-job-hoppers-say-switching-jobs-actually-leveled-up-their-career-faster">come by switching employers</a>.
Others cautioned that bringing up John&#8217;s name directly in negotiations would be a mistake. &#8220;Try to negotiate a raise and don&#8217;t bring John up in any way, shape or form,&#8221; someone warned. &#8220;You now know how high the ceiling is and they don&#8217;t know that you know. Use that to your advantage.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Than Merit</h2>
Many highlighted how hiring timing and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45851993/mr-wonderful-kevin-oleary-says-he-was-once-told-by-a-ceo-to-shut-up-and-that-leveled-up-his-negotiation-skills-fellow-shark-mark-cuban-also-fle">negotiation skills</a> play a bigger role than job performance. John kept a premium salary due to his previous startup role, while OP started at the lower end because of agency involvement and timing.
&#8220;60k in tech is low, and that has nothing to do with the &#8216;pay gap,&#8217; it&#8217;s just low, period,&#8221; one compensation expert wrote. &#8220;You should be looking and interviewing, and the same would be true if you didn&#8217;t have a better-paid colleague.&#8221;
Some speculated that John's days may be numbered. &#8220;If they had someone that they thought was capable of doing John&#8217;s job for $60k, they would fire John today and hire that person,&#8221; a person foreshadowed what could happen before the post was updated.
The overwhelming consensus is not to count on your company to fix pay discrepancies. Use market research, get external offers, and be willing to leave.
&#8220;You&#8217;re only as valuable as someone is willing to pay you,&#8221; one person summarized.

Same Role, Same Experience—One Tech Worker Found Out Colleague Made Nearly Double The Money. It Could End Up Badly For One Of Them

Several customers&#8217; critical information has been compromised, leading to data breach alerts issued by&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>),&nbsp;Bank of America&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), and&nbsp;TD Bank&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TD#NYSE">TD</a>).
What Happened: According to <a href="https://www.mass.gov/doc/data-breach-report-2025/download">filings</a> with the Massachusetts state government, the banks disclosed data breaches that have put customers&#8217;&nbsp;accounts and personal information at&nbsp;risk. 
Chase revealed that&nbsp;at least four customers in&nbsp;the state were affected by multiple breaches.
Chase employees, in two incidents, improperly accessed customers&#8217;&nbsp;credit and debit card information, which led to fraudulent transactions. The bank responded by closing the affected cards, issuing replacements, and reimbursing the customers.
Similarly, The Bank of America <a href="https://www.mass.gov/doc/2025-961-bank-of-america/download">reported</a> that documentation related to at least one customer&#8217;s&nbsp;savings bonds was lost in&nbsp;transit on February 14th. Despite attempts to recover the documentation, the North Carolina-based lender has been unsuccessful.

TD Bank <a href="https://www.mass.gov/doc/2025-966-td-bank/download">disclosed</a> that&nbsp;a former employee improperly accessed&nbsp;a customer&#8217;s personal information between December 2024 and January 2025. 
The bank is now&nbsp;monitoring the account for fraud&nbsp;and has offered&nbsp;the customer a complimentary two-year membership to an identity&nbsp;theft protection and recovery service.
Why It Matters: This series of data breaches underscores the ongoing challenges that banks face in protecting customer information. 
Despite stringent security measures, the incidents highlight potential vulnerabilities in the banking sector&#8217;s information security systems. 
The breaches also raise questions about the effectiveness of current protocols in preventing unauthorized access by employees and the need for enhanced measures to ensure the safe transit of sensitive customer documentation.

Musk's ISS Concerns, Auto Tariffs, Boeing Dreamliner Crash And Trump-Musk Reconciliation: This Week In Mobility

Billionaire investor&nbsp;Ray Dalio&nbsp;has shed light on his perspective on meme stock trading. Dalio emphasized the importance of market pricing, a factor he believes is often overlooked by investors. 
What Happened: In a post on X, Dalio observed that investors tend to get swept up in the latest meme stock trend, which he warns is likely to lose its appeal over time. 
Instead of focusing on the performance of a company, investors often neglect the importance of market pricing, leading to potential market errors.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">These memes typically are due to a mix of extrapolating what happened before and emotional considerations.

&#8220;Most&nbsp;investors typically don't take into&nbsp;consideration market pricing&#8230;&nbsp;they don't pay enough attention&nbsp;to its pricing, even though&nbsp;its pricing (whether it is&nbsp;cheap or expensive) is the&nbsp;most important thing,&#8221; Dalio explained.

This advice from Dalio comes following his recent cautionary statements about the US economy. He has been urging the government to slash its budget deficit from 7% to 3% of GDP, proposing a three-pronged strategy involving tax revenue, spending cuts, and interest rates.
&#8220;At this time, it is typical for almost everyone to be looking to make money by buying assets that they believe will go up (rather betting on them going down), and they quite often use leverage,&#8221; he further added in the post. 
Why It Matters: Dalio&#8217;s insights on meme stock trading and the importance of market pricing come at a time when meme stocks have been making headlines. 
His advice serves as a reminder to investors to not lose sight of fundamental investment principles amidst the hype of trending stocks. 
His recent warnings about the US economy also underscore the need for fiscal responsibility and sound economic strategies.

Ray Dalio Shares His Meme Stock Trading Strategy: 'Most Investors Don't Take Into Consideration Market Pricing, They Don't Pay Enough Attention To Its Pricing'

Angel investor Naval Ravikant says Elon Musk quit talking to Bill Gates because "money is just a tool" for the Tesla chief, and anyone betting against his mission to decarbonize transport violates his code.
What Happened: In a conversation with cartoonist Scott Adams back in November 2024, Ravikant recounted a 2022 exchange in which Musk confronted Gates over a reported major short position in Tesla stock.
When Gates defended the wager as sound financial advice, Musk replied, &#8220;What do you care about making money? … I thought you were into electric cars,&#8221; then walked away &#8220;in disgust,&#8221; Ravikant said.
&#8220;Elon's a purist. He means what he says,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The money is a tool for him to get what he's trying to do.&#8221; According to a Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-turned-down-bill-gates-philanthropy-over-tesla-short-2022-4">report</a>, leaked texts later confirmed Musk rejected a climate-philanthropy meeting with Gates for the same reason. Musk called the short &#8220;categorically insane&#8221; and predicted Gates would be "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44434228/elon-musk-said-bill-gates-would-be-obliterated-for-shorting-tesla-but-short-sellers-just-made-16-2-billion-in-3-months-betting-against-him">obliterated</a>" once Tesla's self-driving cars and Optimus robots scale.

Ravikant argued the incident shows Musk's ambitions stretch far beyond quarterly earnings. &#8220;He wants to get humanity to the stars … I think he means to get there within a defined window of time,&#8221; he said, insisting the goal is concrete, not aspirational. Ravikant contrasted Musk with executives who trumpet bold visions they never plan to fulfill. &#8220;You kind of know they don't really mean it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Elon, I take at face value.&#8221;
&#8220;Elon doesn't want to go down as the electric-car guy. He wants to be the man who got humanity to the stars… and he'll do whatever it takes,&#8221; remarked Ravikant.
Why It Matters: Bill Gates says Elon Musk has "been nice to me at times, and mean to me at times,&#8221; a description that fits their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45484920/more-than-a-feud-elon-musk-bill-gates-spat-sheds-light-on-competing-views-of-efficiency">decade-long feud</a>. Gates still praises Musk's engineering triumphs, saying Tesla "forced the car industry to do great EVs&#8221; and SpaceX redefined rocketry, yet he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43880898/im-in-awe-bill-gates-says-elon-musk-is-brilliant-rich-and-influential-but-admits-hes-been-mean-to-me-at-times">remains baffled</a> by Silicon Valley billionaires' recent tilt toward President Donald Trump. The Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder says he is willing to work with Musk, but whether Musk sets aside past barbs is an open question.
More recently, Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45800612/trump-says-musk-has-trump-derangement-syndrome-as-battle-over-bill-heats-up-had-a-great-relationship-dont-know-if-we-will-anymore">sparred publicly</a> with Trump, blasting his "big, beautiful bill" as a letdown for the DOGE team and accusing the administration of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45828121/elon-musks-bombshell-about-donald-trump-in-epstein-docs-heres-the-truth-behind-the-claim">withholding</a> Jeffrey Epstein–related documents.

Naval Ravikant Says Elon Musk's A 'Purist' Recalling Why He Likely Never Speaks To Bill Gates

As the demand for drones in the U.S. military increases, the market is becoming increasingly congested. Numerous companies and startups are competing for&nbsp;the same investments and military&nbsp;dollars, leading to an oversaturated market.
What Happened: The&nbsp;small uncrewed aerial vehicle market&nbsp;has seen a significant increase in competition in recent years. Companies are not only developing drones but also&nbsp;software programs and modular payloads.
The&nbsp;Department of Defense&nbsp;has traditionally relied on&nbsp;large drones like the MQ-9&nbsp;Reaper&nbsp;for reconnaissance and combat strike&nbsp;missions. 
However, recent conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have underscored the importance of low-cost, first-person-view (FPV) drones in modern warfare.
According to a report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/too-many-companies-want-sell-small-aerial-drones-us-military-2025-6">by</a> Insider, this increased interest has stimulated the drone market, leading to&nbsp;new research and development pathways. However, the market is becoming&nbsp;oversaturated with drone makers producing&nbsp;similar products. 
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41652195/us-drone-maker-slams-china-sanctions-calls-it-an-attempt-to-eliminate-the-leading-american-drone-com">US Drone Maker Slams China Sanctions, Calls It &#8216;An Attempt To Eliminate The Leading American Drone Company&#8217;</a>
As a result, companies are&nbsp;trying to distinguish themselves in&nbsp;terms of capability and adaptability to countermeasures like electronic warfare.
Not all companies rushing into this space will&nbsp;be competitive in the long&nbsp;run. Some may fail to create a quality product, while others may struggle&nbsp;to scale up production to&nbsp;meet military demand. 
The current situation is likened to the early automobile industry, where only the strong survived.
Why It Matters: Despite the growing interest, investors remain cautious about investing in an industry that has historically not been very profitable for small drones. 
The question remains&nbsp;whether the Defense Department will&nbsp;purchase&nbsp;enough small drones to make&nbsp;these business ventures&nbsp;profitable in the near term.

This week was a rollercoaster ride in the tech world, with significant developments from industry giants Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>). From strategic investments and leadership changes to financial strategy revisions and potential acquisitions, the tech titans have been busy. Let&#8217;s dive into the details.
Meta&#8217;s $29 Billion AI Investment
Meta has strategically invested in Scale AI, pushing the company&#8217;s valuation to over $29 billion. This move is part of a broader partnership aimed at accelerating AI development. Scale AI&#8217;s founder and CEO, Alexandr Wang, will join Meta to support its internal AI initiatives while continuing to serve on Scale&#8217;s board.

Nvidia&#8217;s China Conundrum
Nvidia has revised its financial strategy following a $2.5 billion revenue shortfall in Q1 2025, attributed to U.S. export controls blocking AI chip sales to China. CEO Jensen Huang stated that the company would no longer include China in its revenue or profit forecasts due to the ongoing U.S. export restrictions.

Nvidia CEO Disagrees With AI Job Wipeout Predictions
In a rebuttal to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei&#8217;s warnings about AI wiping out entry-level white-collar jobs, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang expressed his disagreement, stating that open development would create new work rather than trigger a wipeout.

Apple&#8217;s Potential AI Acquisition
Following Apple&#8217;s WWDC 2025, Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities suggested that Apple might need to pursue a merger or acquisition with an AI platform like Perplexity to remain competitive in AI and meet growing consumer demands. This move would be similar to Apple&#8217;s 2014 acquisition of Beats.

Wikipedia Pauses AI Experiment
Wikipedia has halted its AI-generated summaries experiment following backlash from its editor community, who argued that the feature would harm the platform&#8217;s credibility. The Wikimedia Foundation had planned to test AI-generated summaries on Wikipedia articles to make content more accessible.

Meta's AI Push, Nvidia's China Woes, And Apple's AI Race: This Week In AI

A mother recently called into &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuxNMVds32E">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; to get advice about her 22-year-old son, and Dave Ramsey did not hold back.
Her son, who is graduating debt-free from college this month thanks to the &#8220;sacrifice&#8221; of his parents, racked up a $700 urgent care bill after ignoring his parents' advice to use the on-campus clinic. The parents paid $500 of the bill and asked him to pay the remaining $200 to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-save-money-as-a-teenager">teach him some financial responsibility</a>. But the son flat-out refused.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey Warns Against Entitlement</h2>
The caller explained that her son planned to move back home for the summer while completing an internship. "No way. There's consequences to being a butt," Ramsey said. "He doesn&#8217;t get to live there rent-free if he doesn&#8217;t pay a bill because it&#8217;s your responsibility when it&#8217;s not."
The mom said her son believes the parents should cover the entire bill since he's still on their health plan. But Ramsey and his co-host Ken Coleman weren't having it.
"You&#8217;re not going to move in here until you pay that bill," Ramsey continued. "I&#8217;ll let you live here rent-free to get a good start, not for being an entitled brat."
Coleman got especially fired up when the mom mentioned that she was planning to play the clip of the call to her son. Talking directly to him, he said, "Dude, you need a reality check. You ought to be apologizing to your parents and groveling all over yourself in gratitude for all they&#8217;ve done for you," he said. "You went to a place that I told you not to. You&#8217;ve got a $700 problem. It&#8217;s not Mom and I&#8217;s problem."&nbsp;

&#8220;If you&#8217;re big enough to get yourself in this mess, you&#8217;re big enough to get yourself [out],&#8221; Ramsey added.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gratitude Starts Young</h2>
Ramsey then pivoted to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45496493/dave-ramsey-shares-four-money-lessons-every-child-should-learn-money-comes-from-work-not-from-other-people">broader message</a>: Gratitude and humility must be taught early. "Everything when you&#8217;re parenting is a muscle that must be built," he said. "Gratitude leads to and helps you as it grows inside a child. A grateful child becomes a humble child."
He explained that these traits, once deeply rooted, shape adults who understand the value of personal responsibility, appreciate the support they&#8217;ve been given, and recognize that respect and opportunity must be earned, not expected or demanded. Such individuals are more likely to approach challenges with humility, make thoughtful financial choices, and avoid placing undue expectations on others.

The tech world was abuzz this past week with a flurry of news from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).

From Mark Cuban endorsing a progressive deficit reduction plan to the World Economic Forum&#8217;s sobering gender equality forecast, there&#8217;s a lot to unpack. We also saw President Trump green-lighting a major steel merger and Elon Musk predicting a future without jobs. Here&#8217;s a quick rundown of these stories.
Mark Cuban Backs Ro Khanna&#8217;s Deficit Reduction Plan
Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban has shown support for Rep. Ro Khanna&#8217;s (D-Calif.) &#8220;Progressive Deficit Reduction Plan.&#8221; The plan aims to cut the U.S. deficit by $12 trillion over the next decade, with a significant portion of the cuts coming from spending reductions. The plan was unveiled on June 10, 2025, and seeks to lower the deficit-to-GDP ratio to 3% by 2034, a figure well below the historical average of 3.8%.

Gender Equality 123 Years Away, Says World Economic Forum
The World Economic Forum&#8217;s 2025 Global Gender Gap Index indicates that achieving global gender parity is still a distant goal. The report shows that only 68.8% of the gender gap has been closed across 148 economies, a mere 0.3 percentage point improvement from last year. At the current rate, it will take 123 years to reach full gender equality.

Trump Approves Nippon Steel&#8217;s Acquisition of US Steel
President Donald Trump has approved Nippon Steel&#8217;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NPSCY#OTC">NPSCY</a>) $14.9 billion bid for U.S. Steel (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/X#NYSE">X</a>). The approval comes after an 18-month process marked by union resistance and dual national security assessments. The merger is contingent upon an agreement with the Treasury Department to address national security concerns.

Trump&#8217;s Tax Plan Could Threaten Rural Healthcare
Health advocates and rural hospitals warn that President Trump&#8217;s proposed tax cuts and spending bill could jeopardize critical medical services in small towns across the country. The legislation, which seeks to extend the 2017 tax cuts, could result in a significant reduction in Medicaid funding and impose stricter requirements for recipients.

Elon Musk Predicts A Future Without Jobs
Elon Musk, at the Viva Technology Conference in Paris, predicted a future where artificial intelligence could eliminate the need for most human jobs. He gave an 80% probability that AI advances will lead to a situation where humans will not need to work and will have all they need.

Mark Cuban Backs Ro Khanna's Fiscal Plan, Gender Equality Forecasts, And Musk's Jobless Future Prediction: This Week In Economics

As the week wraps up, the political landscape has been buzzing with noteworthy stories. From President Donald Trump&#8217;s ongoing feud with Federal Reserve Chief Jerome Powell to the unprecedented involvement of U.S. Marines in civilian detainment in Los Angeles, the week has been anything but quiet. Adding to the mix, big tech companies are reportedly funding Trump&#8217;s military parade, while his approval ratings hit a second-term low. Lastly, the much-anticipated &#8216;Trump Card&#8217; visa program has started accepting applications. Let&#8217;s dive into the details.
Trump&#8217;s War Of Words With Jerome Powell Continues
President Trump has once again voiced his dissatisfaction with Federal Reserve Chief Jerome Powell&#8217;s stance on rates, blaming him for increased U.S. debt costs. Trump referred to Powell as &#8220;one numbskull&#8221; and expressed his frustration over Powell&#8217;s refusal to lower rates. Despite the criticism, Trump stated he has no plans to fire Powell.

Trump's Tussle With Powell, Big Tech's Parade Funding, Trump Card Visa And More: This Week In Politics

When it comes to protecting family property, waiting too long to set up a trust can come with serious consequences — especially in complex family situations. On a recent episode of the "<a href="https://omny.fm/shows/suze-ormans-women-and-money/ask-kt-suze-anything-what-do-i-do-if-i-forgot-to-start-taking-my-rmd">Women &amp; Money</a>" podcast, personal finance expert Suze Orman warned listeners about the risks of leaving a home outside of a trust, using a real-life question from a concerned listener as an example.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Complicated Family Setup</h2>
A listener named Yvonne wrote in to explain that her mother still lives in the family home with one of her sons. The father lives elsewhere with a girlfriend, though the parents are still legally married. The listener and her wife already have their own trust and are hoping to help her mother create one for the house.

<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-peter-thiel-turned-his-roth-ira-into-5-billion-and-why-accredited-investors-are-now-eyeing-this-smartphone-disruptor">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.30/share!</a></li>
</ul>
The goal is for the home to be passed on to the four children — Yvonne and her siblings — when the mother passes away. But as Orman quickly pointed out, things can go wrong if the details aren't handled correctly, especially in a community property state like California.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Danger Lies in the Title</h2>
"The real question at hand, Yvonne: how is title to this house held?" Orman asked.&nbsp;
She then explained that if the home is owned jointly with the right of survivorship and the mother passes away first, the father would automatically inherit the entire house — no matter what the mother's will or trust says.
That's because how an asset is titled overrides the instructions in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45632293/this-119-will-trust-kit-could-save-your-family-thousands-and-its-now-20-off">will or trust</a>. In this case, the father could then leave the home to someone else, including his girlfriend, and the children would be left with nothing.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Needs to Be Done</h2>
To prevent that outcome, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/05/45702148/suze-orman-tells-65-year-old-with-600k-savings-and-no-debt-you-are-so-far-ahead">Orman</a> offered a clear plan:
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Transfer the Title: First, the mother needs to get the title of the house into her name alone. This may require a divorce or legal agreement, especially since they are still married.</li>
<li>Set Up a Trust: Once the home is in her name, the next step is to transfer the home into a living trust. This allows the mother to remain the beneficiary while she's alive, and then pass the house to her children as she wishes after her death.</li>
<li>Act Now: Orman emphasized the urgency: "Otherwise, your greatest nightmare if she dies first is absolutely going to happen."</li>
</ol>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why a Trust Matters</h2>
A living trust helps avoid probate, gives clarity over who receives the asset, and protects it from being redirected if unexpected life events occur — such as a surviving spouse remarrying or changing their will.
Though Orman also mentioned that putting the kids directly on the title might sound like a quick fix, she warned against it due to tax complications like missing out on a step-up in basis.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line</h2>
If your family owns a home and you want to ensure it passes smoothly to the next generation, it's essential to look beyond just having a will. Without a trust — and the proper title setup — your loved ones could lose more than just a piece of property.
Now may be the right time to have that conversation.

'If Mom Dies First, We Lose The House': Suze Orman Warns What Can Go Wrong Without A Trust

Beaverton, Oregon-based semiconductor startup AheadComputing, founded by four former Intel (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) central processing unit architects,<a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/aheadcomputing-raises-21-5m-seed-round-and-introduces-breakthrough-microprocessor-architecture-designed-for-next-era-of-general-purpose-computing-302379683.html"> announced</a> in February that it secured $21.5 million in seed funding to develop a new class of high-performance processors based on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/10/35130755/risc-v-vs-arm-how-us-china-tech-tensions-could-redefine-chip-innovation">RISC-V</a> architecture.
The seed funding round was led by Eclipse Ventures, with participation from Maverick Capital, Fundomo, and EPIQ Capital. The company also added Jim Keller to its board of directors. Keller is widely regarded as one of the foremost chip designers in the world, having held engineering leadership roles at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45790909/was-jeff-bezos-backed-whylabs-secretly-acquired-by-apple-after-10m-series-a-to-compete-in-ai-arms-race-against-google-openai-and-microsoft">Apple</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Intel, and Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), <a href="https://www.oregonlive.com/silicon-forest/2025/06/top-researchers-leave-intel-to-build-startup-with-the-biggest-baddest-cpu.html">The Oregonian</a> reports.

</ul>
The company, established in 2024, is aiming to design a scalable and power-efficient CPU that challenges x86 dominance in the data center and artificial intelligence sectors, The Oregonian says. Led by CEO Debbie Marr, AheadComputing intends to deliver what it calls the &#8220;biggest, baddest CPU in the world.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Open Architecture Positions AheadComputing for Strategic Advantage</h2>
RISC-V, a royalty-free, open instruction set architecture, is emerging as a credible alternative to proprietary platforms such as Intel's x86 and ARM's licensed designs. According to The Oregonian, the architecture enables companies to create customized processors without licensing restrictions or vendor lock-in.
AheadComputing's team has grown to 80 employees, many of whom previously held senior roles at Intel. The company is targeting high-performance workloads in cloud infrastructure, AI inference, and edge computing applications. Its design leverages the modular &#8220;chiplet&#8221; model, allowing for flexible system-on-chip configurations tailored to specific customer needs, The Oregonian reports.

Co-founder Jonathan Pearce told The Oregonian that the fragmentation of computing systems presents an opportunity for specialized vendors to offer optimized components within larger heterogeneous systems. &#8220;You get the opportunity for a company like AheadComputing to provide that piece of the overall system. As opposed to the past 20 years where it was just one tech giant,&#8221; Pearce said.
AheadComputing operates as a fabless semiconductor company, outsourcing chip fabrication to partners such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. This capital-efficient model allows the firm to focus resources on architectural innovation and design execution, The Oregonian reports.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Silicon Forest Sees Renewed Growth As Intel Alumni Go Independent</h2>
Intel's long-standing position as Oregon's largest private employer is undergoing transition, with multiple senior engineers departing to build independent ventures. According to The Oregonian, AheadComputing represents one of the most ambitious spinouts, combining advanced design experience with startup agility.
Vice president of AheadComputing&#8217;s design verification Alon Mahl said the hands-on startup environment allows engineering leaders to accelerate timelines and make immediate decisions without layers of corporate oversight. The Oregonian says that the team is already seeking larger office space in Washington County to accommodate growth and additional equipment needs.

According to The Oregonian, AheadComputing joins a small group of Oregon-based chip startups led by Intel alumni, including Ampere Computing, which was recently acquired by SoftBank for $6.5 billion while retaining its Portland office footprint.
Portland State University professor Christof Teuscher, an expert in microprocessor architecture, said the startup is taking a high-risk, high-reward approach. While RISC-V has traditionally been used in academic and embedded contexts, The Oregonian says that Teuscher expressed skepticism about its ability to succeed in high-performance commercial environments.
According to The Oregonian, AheadComputing envisions its chips will eventually power PCs, laptops, and data centers, with possible clients including Google, Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), and Samsung.

Intel Veterans Raise $22M To Disrupt The Semiconductor Industry With The 'Baddest CPU In The World,' Backed By Apple And AMD Alum Jim Keller

Despite President Donald Trump&#8217;s frequent promises to boost manufacturing in America, recent job figures show troubling declines.&nbsp;
In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRdQiOLmWBQ">Fox Business</a> segment, host Stuart Varney pressed Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer over the loss of 8,000 manufacturing jobs in May, asking directly, &#8220;How come we&#8217;re losing 8,000 manufacturing jobs in May when there&#8217;s a big push to bring manufacturing jobs back to America?&#8221;

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mixed Messages On Manufacturing</h2>
Chavez-DeRemer pointed out general improvements in the economy, saying, &#8220;We're certainly holding steady, and under the Trump administration, manufacturing jobs are still up over what the last administration, under Biden, had.&#8221; She emphasized ongoing efforts to expand the sector through construction and healthcare employment, alongside new manufacturing plants. Yet, she admitted, &#8220;It will take some time.&#8221;
Varney challenged Chavez-DeRemer repeatedly, pointing out the contradiction between the administration&#8217;s push to revive manufacturing and the actual job losses reported. Chavez-DeRemer attributed the setbacks partially to the transitional effects of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/45877836/world-bank-slashes-global-growth-forecast-to-lowest-since-1960s-amid-trump-tariffs-if-the-right-policy-actions-are-taken">Trump&#8217;s tariff policies</a> aimed at leveling the playing field internationally.
&#8220;The president has done a wonderful job in negotiating the level playing field,&#8221; Chavez-DeRemer argued. &#8220;We're seeing tens of trillions of dollars being reinvested here in the United States, and I'll continue to focus on that skilled workforce as those manufacturing jobs continue to grow.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Economic Realities And Sector Concerns</h2>
Despite Chavez-DeRemer&#8217;s assurances, industry figures reflect broader concerns. <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf">According</a> to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45812372/us-labor-markets-defies-tariff-concerns-as-nonfarm-payrolls-wages-top-expectations-in-may">added only 139,000 jobs</a> overall in May, marking a noticeable slowdown. Factory managers have expressed unease about Trump&#8217;s tariffs in the Institute for Supply Management&#8217;s May <a href="https://www.ismworld.org/supply-management-news-and-reports/reports/ism-report-on-business/pmi/may/">survey</a>, describing them as a significant burden for manufacturing businesses, with one manager noting that the current &#8220;chaos does not bode well for anyone.&#8221;
Recent economic reports support this caution, highlighting the significant role manufacturing plays in the U.S. economy. As of late 2024, manufacturing contributed almost $3 trillion to the economy and supported millions of jobs directly and indirectly. Yet, despite these promising figures, the manufacturing sector continues to shed positions.

Chavez-DeRemer downplayed the threat, saying, &#8220;I believe that we're going to streamline and we're going to assist the American worker. Things are changing at a rapid pace, but AI is not going anywhere.&#8221;
She added that the administration is proactively training workers for this shift, dedicating 10% of apprenticeship grants to AI training.
For now, manufacturing in the U.S. faces significant headwinds, caught between political promises, economic pressures, and a rapidly evolving workforce landscape.

Fox Business Host Presses Trump's Labor Secretary: How Come We're Losing Manufacturing Jobs When There's A Big Push To Bring Them To The U.S.

Israel&#8217;s airstrikes have caused considerable damage to Iran&#8217;s nuclear program. The full impact of these strikes is still being evaluated by experts. This situation poses a significant challenge for both the US and Israel as they deliberate on their next course of action.
What Happened: According to a report on Saturday, the airstrikes launched by Israel have resulted in significant damage to Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities. However, experts are of the opinion that these strikes have not entirely wiped out the program. 
Rafael Mariano Grossi, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, revealed that while the surface facilities at Natanz, Iran&#8217;s primary nuclear-fuel site, were destroyed, the main underground halls where uranium enrichment occurs are still operational, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-14/iran-s-nuclear-sites-hobbled-but-not-destroyed-experts-say?srnd=homepage-asia&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">reports</a> Bloomberg. 
In retaliation to the attacks, Iran targeted Israeli cities with hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones. The strikes also resulted in the death of nine top scientists who were instrumental to Iran&#8217;s nuclear aspirations. 
These developments have cast a shadow over the future of US-Iran talks that aim to limit Tehran&#8217;s nuclear activities in return for relief from sanctions.

Experts have expressed concerns that the airstrikes could complicate the monitoring of Iran&#8217;s nuclear activities, as inspectors backed by the UN may not be able to access the sites for an extended period. 
Fears are also mounting that Iran might move uranium to a hidden location or that the IAEA may not be able to account for all of Iran&#8217;s nuclear materials due to the damage inflicted.
The current situation puts the US in a tight spot, as the only feasible way to destroy&nbsp;the enrichment site at Fordow,&nbsp;which is located beneath a mountain, would be through the use of massive bunker-buster bombs, a weapon that only the US possesses.
Why It Matters: The recent airstrikes and their aftermath have heightened tensions in the Middle East, with potential global implications. The future of US-Iran talks hangs in the balance, and the potential for further escalation remains high. 
The situation calls for careful diplomacy and strategic decision-making from all involved parties.

Israeli Airstrikes Damage Iran's Nuclear Sites, Experts Assess Impact

Your 30s are a time of big changes. You&#8217;re probably growing in your career, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/06/45870791/someone-asked-why-are-more-and-more-people-buying-forever-homes-as-their-first-the-answers-say-a-lot">buying a home</a>, getting married or having kids, said financial expert Bo Hanson, host of &#8220;The Money Guy Show.&#8221; Along with those life shifts come serious financial decisions that can shape the rest of your life.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">These Years Can Make or Break Your Financial Future</h2>
In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gc5ayLeCNA">video</a> on their YouTube channel, Hanson explained that the financial habits and decisions you establish set the foundation for lifelong stability and wealth. And while that may sound a bit overwhelming, he broke it down into a few realistic goals to hit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39192298/warren-buffett-was-asked-if-he-had-to-start-over-in-his-30s-how-would-he-make-30-billion-today-h">before you turn 40</a>.

</ul>
Here are the three biggest financial milestones you should aim for in your 30s:
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Have One To Three Times Your Income Invested</h2>
The first goal is to hit a net worth equal to your annual income in investable assets—not including home equity or emergency savings—by your early 30s.
&#8220;Crossing this milestone is an awesome first step for anyone starting out in their wealth-building journey,&#8221; the host said. This means you&#8217;re likely living below your means and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/38849017/suze-orman-warns-you-want-to-be-a-multi-millionaire-dont-insult-the-beauty-of-compound-interest-">compound interest</a> is starting to work in your favor.
By the time you&#8217;re hitting 40, the ideal target is to have three times your income invested. And it's not as far-fetched as it sounds. If you start at age 30 with zero savings and put away $941 a month with a 9% return, you could have over $150,000 by 40. &#8220;That&#8217;s literally three times a $50,000 income,&#8221; Hanson explained.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Save $941 Per Month</h2>
The $941 figure isn't random. It&#8217;s the combined monthly amount needed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44656837/build-your-retirement-portfolio-while-saving-for-emergencies-a-roth-ira-can-double-as-an-emergency-fund-is-that-true">max out a Roth IRA</a> — $583 per month — and a health savings account — $358 per month — assuming you're eligible.
&#8220;Combining these two accounts helps you build significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42363760/top-tax-efficient-investments-to-maximize-your-wealth">tax-free wealth</a> and this greatly enhances your long-term financial health,&#8221; Hanson said. You can automate this savings amount or use payroll deferrals if your employer allows it. &#8220;You have to invest the dollars. Saving in these accounts is only the first part of the equation.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Save 25% Of Your Gross Income</h2>
This milestone shows you&#8217;re going beyond just checking boxes like maxing out a Roth IRA and HSA. It's a sign you're serious about building long-term wealth.
&#8220;The discipline to consistently save a quarter of your income demonstrates that you&#8217;re committed to building long-term wealth and prioritizing your future financial security over short-term gratification,&#8221; Hanson said.

If your employer offers a match, you might already be close to that 25% target without realizing it. Every 1% increase helps. As the host put it, &#8220;You get to choose your hard today or hard tomorrow.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bonus: Build A Financial Moat</h2>
Once your saving habits are solid, it's time to protect your progress. That starts with a fully funded emergency fund, especially if your lifestyle has changed. &#8220;In your 30s, things always go sideways,&#8221; Hanson said.
Protection also means having <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/life-insurance">life insurance</a> if others depend on you, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45632293/this-119-will-trust-kit-could-save-your-family-thousands-and-its-now-20-off">updating your will</a> and adjusting your emergency fund as your expenses grow. &#8220;Your 30s are when your financial life—and generally your life altogether—expand a great deal,&#8221; Hanson explained. &#8220;It's important to make sure that those who depend on you are taken care of.&#8221;
Whether you&#8217;re ahead, behind or just getting started, the message is simple: start now, stay consistent and build from there. &#8220;Every day counts.&#8221;

Not Sure If You're On Track Financially? Here Are 3 Money Milestones Every 30-Something Should Aim For

Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLDX#NASDAQ">CLDX</a>) today announced data demonstrating that barzolvolimab profoundly improves angioedema at 52 weeks in the Company's Phase 2 clinical trial in chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). Angioedema, characterized by swelling of the deeper&nbsp;dermal&nbsp;layers of the skin and mucous&nbsp;membranes, is a painful, debilitating symptom of CSU that has significant impact on quality of life. It commonly affects the face (lips and eyelids), hands, feet, and&nbsp;genitalia but can also involve the tongue, uvula, soft&nbsp;palate, and&nbsp;pharynx1.
&nbsp;
Summary of Key Findings:
<ul>
<li>Patients on study had severe CSU. Over 70% of patients had a weekly urticaria activity score (UAS7) greater than 28 at baseline and reported very high rates of angioedema at baseline.</li>
<li>Barzolvolimab demonstrated rapid, robust and durable improvements in angioedema symptoms over the treatment period. At Week 52, an 86% mean reduction from baseline was reported for 150 mg Q4W arm and an 82% reduction was reported for the 300 mg Q8W.</li>
<li>Up to 77% of patients treated with barzolvolimab who had angioedema at baseline were angioedema free (AAS7=0) at Week 52.</li>
<li>Patients treated with barzolvolimab were angioedema free up to 72% of the time over the 52 week treatment period.</li>
<li>Up to 87% of patients reported clinically meaningful improvement (&gt;8 point) in AAS7 at Week 52.</li>
</ul>
