Here's How Much $100 Invested In Automatic Data Processing 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

A 36-year-old Reddit user with $85,000 in savings recently sparked a viral discussion on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Millennials/comments/1jynv19/to_the_millennials_who_have_no_hope_of_buying_a/">r/Millennials</a> by asking a question that hit a nerve: If <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44402207/billionaire-peter-thiel-warns-of-a-looming-real-estate-catastrophe-a-massive-hit-to-the-lower-middle">homeownership is out of reach</a>, what are you doing with your money?
&#8220;I have about $85k in savings and put away $1,200 a month,&#8221; the user wrote. &#8220;I have a good income, but not enough for a bank to want to give me a mortgage.&#8221;
That comment set off hundreds of replies from other millennials who have faced the same struggle: doing everything right financially but still feeling like owning a home is a fantasy.

<li><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.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Laughter, Support, and Shared Struggle</h2>
The top reply, with more than 1,300 upvotes, summed up the mood: &#8220;You have savings?&#8221;
For many, the idea of having tens of thousands stashed away is laughably out of reach. One user admitted they had only $1,200 total. Another said their savings evaporated after an unexpected dental emergency.
Then came the deeper stories. One user said they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42926724/were-350000-in-debt-and-have-no-savings-at-50-this-couple-making-258000-a-year-asks-ramit-sethi-will-i-have-to-work-until-we-die-2">have no savings</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44385855/45-year-old-with-no-401k-making-80k-says-he-prioritized-his-son-and-debts-now-incredibly-stressed-about-retirement-how-can-i-catch-up">no 401(k)</a>, and no inheritance coming: &#8220;So, probably just die at my desk at work.&#8221;
Another shared, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been able to weasel my way into some awesome stuff.&nbsp; I rent a big old farm house for the going rate of a studio (in my area). I&#8217;ve managed my way into a job I&#8217;m underqualified for. I count my blessings every day.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So What Are People Doing With Their Money?</h2>
Many are choosing to put their money into high-yield savings accounts, exchange-traded funds, or just saving for retirement in general.
&#8220;I have $180k in retirement, $50k in emergency savings at 40,&#8221; one user said. &#8220;I probably should have closer to $300k in retirement to comfortably retire.&#8221;
Others are planning to leave the country entirely.
&#8220;Maybe eventually buy a house down in Mexico,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;Just because sh&#x2A;t is unaffordable in America doesn't mean it's like that everywhere.&#8221;
A few even joked about giving up completely: &#8220;Going to spend it on my inevitable relapse,&#8221; someone commented.
But not everyone is throwing in the towel. One said they're saving for an RV and solar panels to travel the country. Another is considering co-owning property with friends through an LLC.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buying Still Matters—But It&#8217;s Complicated</h2>
Some users were confused about why someone with $85,000 and a stable income couldn't get a mortgage. &#8220;Sounds pretty stupid,&#8221; one wrote. Others pointed to location: $85,000 doesn't stretch far in cities like Vancouver, Toronto or San Diego, where even condos can be out of reach.
One commenter explained, &#8220;You could buy an entire house on a piece of land in my state for 130K&#8230; no mortgage.&#8221;
That sentiment was echoed repeatedly. It's not that homeownership is dead everywhere—just in places millennials were told to chase dreams.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Letting Go Of The White Picket Fence</h2>
Beyond the dollars, a shift in mindset is happening. Some said they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/05/38874948/have-american-renters-given-up-on-the-dream-of-homeownership">no longer want a home at all</a>.
&#8220;Everyone I know who owns a home is constantly doing things around the house,&#8221; one person said. &#8220;How do they make time to do fun things?&#8221;
Others plan to stay renters forever and just build wealth elsewhere. &#8220;Rent is the maximum you'll pay, a mortgage is the minimum you'll pay,&#8221; someone pointed out.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hope, If You Squint</h2>
Despite the bleak tone, most replies had a sense of solidarity. The financial system may be broken, but millennials aren't giving up entirely. They're just shifting the goalposts.
&#8220;I'm saving/investing to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-retire-at-55">be able to retire early</a>. Every month matters!&#8221; one user said.
Another summed it up: &#8220;Keep saving and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44737339/americans-have-401ks-not-cash-lying-around-to-buy-stocks-says-an-investor-exposure-to-the-market-doesnt-mean-they-can-buy-the-dip">keep investing</a>. You will get to where you want to be eventually.&#8221;
The dream might be dead, but the money—and the grit—is still there, at least for some millennials.

President Donald Trump's aggressive new round of China tariffs has temporarily spared electronics like smartphones and laptops, but that grace period is short-lived.&nbsp;
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Sunday told <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/commerce-secretary-lutnick-tariff-exemptions-electronics-temporary/story?id=120752319">ABC's "This Week"</a> that Apple and other tech companies should expect new semiconductor-specific tariffs "in probably a month or two."&nbsp;
Apple's dependence on China is massive. Roughly 90% of iPhones are made there. As <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/11/iphone-apple-trump-tariffs-tech-us-china">The Guardian reports</a>, if tariffs stick and Apple doesn't shift production, the iPhone 16 Pro Max could jump from $1,199 to $2,150 — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44728758/trumps-tariffs-could-push-apple-iphone-prices-to-a-staggering-3500-says-top-analyst">or even $3,500</a> if production were forced into the U.S.

</ul>
Ironically, this was a debate 14 years ago.
At a 2011 Silicon Valley dinner with then-President Barack Obama, Apple CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44780772/bill-gates-said-its-a-gross-oversimplification-to-compare-elon-musk-to-genius-steve-jobs-you-wouldnt-walk-into-a-room-and-confu">Steve Jobs </a>gave a blunt answer when asked what it would take to make iPhones in America: "Those jobs aren't coming back." That quote, reported by <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/business/apple-america-and-a-squeezed-middle-class.html">The New York Times</a>, captured the stark reality of globalized manufacturing.&nbsp;
It wasn't just about labor costs. At the time of the 2011 article, experts estimated that paying American wages would only add about $65 to each iPhone.
The real issue was China's supply chain dominance. "You need a million screws? That factory is a block away," a former Apple executive told the Times.
In that same dinner, Jobs said that Apple could potentially bring some high-skill manufacturing to the U.S. if the government helped train engineers. But he was clear: America didn't have the mid-level engineering workforce or production speed needed to compete.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Current Apple CEO Tim Cook has tried to soften that stance. Apple in Februay <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/02/apple-will-spend-more-than-500-billion-usd-in-the-us-over-the-next-four-years/">announced</a> plans to invest $500 billion in the U.S. over four years, building a new factory in Texas and expanding teams across 10 states. But most iPhones are still made abroad.
Even back in 2012, Cook pledged $100 million to build some Mac computers in the U.S. While this move garnered attention, analysts viewed it as a strategic decision rather than a significant shift in Apple's manufacturing strategy. Tom Dinges, a senior supply chain analyst at IHS, <a href="https://www.wired.com/2012/12/apple-insourcing/">told Wired</a> the impact would be minimal across Apple's global operations.
But more than a decade later, the conditions Cook once hedged against may be catching up.
Apple has started ramping up production in India, aiming for 25 million units this year, but China remains its manufacturing heart. As Trump pushes tariffs, Apple may be forced to test Jobs' theory — whether those jobs really are gone for good, or whether a $3,500 iPhone is what it takes to bring them home.

Spring offers an ideal opportunity to refresh financial health. Just as decluttering a home brings clarity and calm, conducting a financial spring cleaning can help gain control, reduce stress and set the stage for future success. Here are key<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/04/44854372/gold-hits-new-record-highs-as-safe-haven-demand-climbs-2-ways-to-invest"> steps to consider:</a>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Review Budget and Spending</h1>
Begin by revisiting the household budget. Track expenses over recent months to reveal unnecessary or impulsive purchases and adjust the budget to align with current financial goals — such as saving for a vacation, paying down debt or building an emergency fund.&nbsp;
Credit Karma, an app from Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NASDAQ">INTU</a>), can organize each transaction by category and track spending habits and identify leftover funds available for investing or saving.&nbsp;

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Tackle Debt Strategically</h1>
Addressing debt is an essential part of financial spring cleaning. Listing all debts, including interest rates and minimum payments, can help prioritize high-interest debts like credit cards. Paying off high-interest debt quickly helps save money and can enhance credit scores.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Optimize Savings</h1>
Evaluate savings accounts and emergency funds often, but at least once a year. Ideally, an emergency fund should cover three to six months of expenses or more. Automatic transfers to savings accounts can facilitate the steady growth of financial reserves.&nbsp;
Acorns offers<a href="https://www.acorns.com/"> an app </a>that can automatically transfer small amounts from a checking account into a savings account to build an emergency fund over time.&nbsp;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Check Subscriptions and Bills</h1>
Reviewing and canceling unused subscriptions, as well as negotiating bills such as cable, internet or insurance, can lead to significant monthly savings. The savings can then be redirected toward more important financial objectives.&nbsp;
Rocket Money, an app from Rocket Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKT#NYSE">RKT</a>), can help identify unused or duplicate subscriptions and even help to cancel them.&nbsp;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Plan for the Future</h1>
Review retirement accounts and investment portfolios to ensure that asset allocation matches risk tolerance and time horizons. For those who have yet to begin investing, spring presents an excellent opportunity to start.
Some online brokerages, like Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) and Webull Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BULL#NASDAQ">BULL</a>), offer retirement investment accounts and easy-to-learn apps.&nbsp;

Expert Outlook: Exelixis Through The Eyes Of 19 Analysts

In the current market session, Mr. Cooper Gr Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COOP#NASDAQ">COOP</a>) stock price is at $111.21, after a 1.34% drop. However, over the past month, the company's stock spiked by 5.32%, and in the past year, by 43.40%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is overvalued, even if the company is not performing up to par in the current session. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744927219_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Mr. Cooper Gr P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Mr. Cooper Gr has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 14.0 of the Financial Services industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1744927219_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

REYN

Assessing Reynolds Consumer Prods: Insights From 9 Financial Analysts

When Chinese AI lab Deepseek released a state-of-the-art large language model for free, it marked a turning point in enterprise AI strategy — especially for financial institutions. The move underscored a broader shift: the emergence of open-source AI as a serious contender to proprietary offerings.
While open-source tools have long been foundational to developer ecosystems, their influence rarely extended into core infrastructure. That changed when companies like Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) began publishing foundational models freely, echoing Google's Android strategy — build the ecosystem now, monetize later.
The trend is accelerating. Deepseek's release made waves for several reasons:
<ul>
<li>State-of-the-art models are now widely available at no cost.</li>
<li>Training these models has become more economically feasible.</li>
<li>Open-source distribution can accelerate adoption — Deepseek's app reportedly reached the top of mobile app store rankings within days of launch.</li>
</ul>
These developments open the door for enterprises — including banks — to stop merely consuming AI and start building it.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Banking's Quiet AI Revolution</h1>
<a href="https://www.citigroup.com/global/news/press-release/2024/citi-publishes-new-report-ai-in-finance">According to a 2024 Citibank report</a>, up to 54% of banking roles could be impacted by AI. The sector's heavy reliance on manual workflows, compliance-heavy documentation and repetitive research makes it ripe for disruption.
So far, most large U.S. banks have opted to explore generative AI via partnerships rather than by developing their own infrastructure:
<ul>
<li>Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) has deployed tools for automating meeting notes and summarizing research, aimed at enhancing financial advisor productivity.</li>
<li>JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) partnered with OpenAI to launch internal assistants for email and document drafting, all integrated into its secure Omni platform.</li>
<li>Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) built an internal hub to access specialized AI tools, with a focus on developer productivity and task-specific model optimization.</li>
<li>Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) and Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) are focused on customer-facing AI, deploying chatbots in mobile banking apps to answer user queries and handle support.</li>
</ul>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why Banks May Need to Build Their Own AI</h1>
With open-source AI infrastructure advancing rapidly, banks now have compelling reasons to develop internal models:
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">&#x1f510; Enhanced Data Security</h3>
By building proprietary LLMs, banks can maintain end-to-end control over sensitive data, reduce reliance on external vendors, and ensure compliance with strict regulatory requirements.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">&#x1f4ca; Unlocking Proprietary Data Value</h3>
Banks are sitting on massive pools of transaction and behavioral data that could power competitive AI models. Training open-source models in-house offers a cost-effective way to turn this underutilized data into differentiated digital services.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">&#x1f4b8; Monetization Potential</h3>
Custom bank-built AI can serve internal teams or be licensed externally. As demand rises for financial data integration, models trained on proprietary datasets could enable entirely new product lines or revenue channels.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">The Strategic Fork in the Road</h1>
Banks are now faced with a strategic decision: continue outsourcing AI capabilities to tech firms — or invest in building their own. With massive IT budgets and uniquely rich data troves, financial institutions are well-positioned to become creators of infrastructure, not just users.
The road ahead is clear. As open-source AI evolves, banking giants that invest in their own models today may define the next era of financial services.
