Your Next Employee Benefit Could Be Money for Your Child
More than 50 companies have promised to put money into new investment accounts for employees’ children: Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley said they will each contribute $1,000 for eligible children, matching the government’s $1,000 starting payment.
Employers can contribute up to $2,500 per worker each year, which means helping your child build wealth could become a new workplace benefit alongside health insurance, retirement plans, and paid leave.
It sounds generous, but will every worker benefit equally? Higher-paid employees may be able to add more money, while families living paycheck to paycheck might depend only on the company and government contributions.
The money is also meant for the child’s future, not for child care, groceries, or bills today. Would you choose a job that helps build wealth for your child, or would you rather receive higher pay now?

Bad Hiring Is Turning Employees Into Founders
More professionals are starting companies because finding a regular job is taking too long: LinkedIn data shows the share of members becoming founders has increased 75% since 2022.
Long job searches, layoffs, and fewer chances to move into better roles are pushing skilled people to create their own work instead of waiting for an employer to choose them.
Are more people becoming founders because they truly want to, or because the hiring system is failing them?
Starting a business can bring freedom, but it can also mean unstable income, no benefits, and more risk.
Even a $986,000 Job at Google Didn’t Feel Secure
Yousuf Imran, an Account Executive at Google, left the company in April 2026 after earning about $986,000 in 2025. His base salary was around $170,000, and most of the rest came from sales commissions.
After six years at Google, he said repeated layoffs made even a high-paying job feel less secure. He left to start Mangosteen Studio, an AI company building tools for sales professionals.
Imran had saved $200,000 for the business and $150,000 for personal expenses.
If an AE earning almost $1 million at Google still wanted more security and ownership, what does a secure job really mean today?
