Bill Gates might be the world's most famous college dropout. But when his youngest daughter, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44937340/im-a-nepo-baby-phoebe-gates-opens-up-on-privilege-pressure-and-her-billionaire-dads-college-warning">Phoebe Gates</a>, thought about doing the same, her dad refused to let her follow in his footsteps.
<a href="https://youtu.be/hIEjxknAU0w?si=-FaZKXt2esQ0ZZTO">On her new podcast</a>, "The Burnouts", which launched last month, Phoebe and co-host, Sophia Kianni, opened up about the ups and downs of launching their digital fashion startup, Phia. Eventually, the conversation turned to family—and how her parents reacted when Phoebe floated the idea of starting her own business.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.30/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a></li>
</ul>
Sophia pointed out what everyone's thinking: Phoebe grew up hearing about how her dad followed his dreams, took big risks, and failed more than once before changing the world with Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>).
That's when Phoebe laughed and dropped a revelation.
"It's funny to hear you say that because I literally never remember my dad talking about the start of Microsoft," she said. "I mostly just remember him talking about the foundation. I remember even when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45026632/bill-gates-says-luckily-his-daughter-phoebe-gates-never-asked-him-to-back-her-business">we wanted to start the company</a>, him being like, ‘Are you sure you want to do this?'"
Phoebe explained that her siblings, Jennifer and Rory, had taken more traditional paths—medicine and academia—with fewer risks involved. But when Phoebe brought up the idea of dropping out of Stanford to focus on her startup, her parents shut it down fast.
"They were very much like, you need to finish your degree. You don't just get to, like, drop out and do a company," Phoebe said. "Which is so funny because my dad literally did that."
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
And unlike her dad, Phoebe listened. She graduated early from Stanford University last June with a degree in human biology—a deadline she pushed for so she could watch her mom, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/25/04/44891233/bill-gates-bought-his-daughter-a-16-million-horse-farm-as-a-graduation-gift-but-ex-wife-melinda-says">Melinda French Gates</a>, give the commencement speech that year.
"I knew I had to make it happen if I could, because I wanted to watch my mother deliver this year's commencement speech as a graduate," Phoebe told <a href="https://www.nylon.com/life/phoebe-gates-stanford-graduation-diary">Nylon in an interview</a>.
Now 22, Phoebe isn't just following the family's philanthropic legacy—she's adding entrepreneurship to the mix. Her startup, Phia, officially launched this month. It's an AI-powered shopping tool designed to help users compare prices across more than 40,000 retail and secondhand fashion sites. "Phia is like Google Flights for fashion," Phoebe and Sophia <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DI4Br3-O76N/?igsh=bHhmbDR6ZnNreDNt">explained on the conpany's official Instagram</a>.
While Phoebe acknowledges the privileges she grew up with, she's determined to carve her own path.
"Growing up, I realized that people are always going to have thoughts about me," she told <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/style/phoebe-gates-bill-gates-resale-phia.html">The New York Times</a>. "If the business is successful, people will say, ‘It's because of her family.' And a huge portion of that is true… But I also feel a huge amount of internalized pressure."
So, no—Bill Gates didn't want another dropout in the family. But Phoebe still found a way to chase big dreams, just with a diploma in hand.

Costco, Inc. (COST) today experienced a Power Inflow, a significant event for those who follow where smart money goes and value order flow analytics in their trading decisions.&nbsp;
Today, at 10:03 AM on May 5th, a significant trading signal occurred for Costco, Inc. (COST) as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $1006.24. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market. They see the value of utilizing order flow analytics to guide their trading decisions. The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in Costco&#8217;s stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement. Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in Costco&#8217;s stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

2025 OUTLOOK
We continue to anticipate 2025 diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $5.68 to $6.08. We expect our earnings mix in 2025 to be approximately 39% from our Electric segment and 61% from our Manufacturing and Plastics segments, net of corporate costs. Our anticipated earnings mix in 2025 deviates from our long-term expected earnings mix of 65% Electric / 35% Non-Electric as we expect Plastics segment earnings to remain elevated in 2025 compared to our long-term view of normal earnings for this segment.
The segment components of our 2025 diluted earnings per share guidance compared with actual earnings for 2024 are as follows:

Most people dream of entering retirement debt-free and set for the golden years. Mary, a 59-year-old from Florida, thought she was making all the right moves. She sold her $518,000 home, wiped out nearly all her debt, and called the "<a href="https://youtu.be/8LBLIBirxzo?si=HXRQwPtgmSI06ET9">Dave Ramsey Show</a>" feeling optimistic. But what seemed like a financial win quickly turned into a reality check.
"I just recently sold my home and paid off almost all of my debt," Mary told Ramsey. "But I'm 59 and I do not have any money in retirement."

<ul>
<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/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.30/share!</a></li>
<li>Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl"> this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a></li>
</ul>
Her plan? Use the remaining $290,000 from the sale to either buy another home or beef up her investments. She hoped Ramsey would greenlight putting most of it into an investment account and maybe taking on a small mortgage.
That's when he hit her with the truth bomb.
"If you do not have a paid-for house when you're through working, you're going to have a major problem," Ramsey warned. "It destabilizes your whole situation."
Mary's instincts were understandable. According to the Nationwide Retirement Institute's Advisor Authority 2024 study, about <a href="https://news.nationwide.com/more-than-a-quarter-of-retired-investors-continue-to-pay-off-mortgage-and-credit-card-debt/">26% of retirees still carry a mortgage</a>—a number that's steadily rising. And the Federal Reserve's most recent <a href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/scf/dataviz/scf/chart/#series:Before_Tax_Income;demographic:all;population:all;units:median">Survey of Consumer Finances</a> found that retirees aged 65 to 74 carry an average debt of $134,950, including mortgages, credit cards, and car loans. Experts widely agree that entering retirement without a paid-off home can stretch limited retirement income dangerously thin.
Trending: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
Ramsey's advice? Skip the mortgage entirely.
He proposed Mary buy a modest $200,000 home outright, pay off her car lease, and use the remaining funds to kick-start her retirement investments. "I would live in that $200,000 house for three to five years while I got my nest egg roaring," he said.
Ramsey also stressed a broader point that many retirees—and even financial advisors—emphasize: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44861839/dave-ramsey-said-he-made-so-much-money-during-the-2008-crash-it-was-ridiculous-picked-up-millions-in">housing stability is just as important</a> as retirement savings. Without a paid-off home, even a solid nest egg can quickly drain under the weight of monthly mortgage payments.
And while Mary's $70,000-a-year income from her small business bookkeeping isn't bad, Ramsey noted she had to prove to herself she could save aggressively going forward. "You've not saved a dime in 59 years on the planet," he pointed out bluntly. "So you got some proving to do to yourself—not to me, but to yourself—that you can do this."
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gbr-savings-by-age">If You're Age 35, 50, or 60: Here&#8217;s How Much You Should Have Saved Vs. Invested By Now</a>
His long-term plan? Get her to $500,000 in retirement savings over the next decade or so. Only then, he said, should she even consider moving up to a more expensive home—paid in full, of course.
The irony of Mary's situation wasn't lost on listeners. What looked like a smart, debt-free move—selling the home—actually put her at risk of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">financial instability in retirement</a>.
As Ramsey put it, retiring with "zero money or close to zero money and a nice paid-for house is not a plan." And selling your house without a retirement plan? Well, that's just trading one problem for another.

<h2>Get to Know Lumen Technologies Better</h2>
With 450,000 route miles of fiber, Lumen Technologies is one of the United States' largest telecommunications carriers serving global enterprises. Its merger with Level 3 in 2017 and divestiture of much of its incumbent local exchange carrier, or ILEC, business in 2022 have shifted the company's operations away from its legacy consumer business and toward enterprises (now about 75% of revenue). Lumen offers businesses a full menu of communications services, providing colocation and data center services, data transportation, and end-user phone and internet service.
