*By Chloe Aiello* Michael Liebman caught the financial bug young. At the age of 13, he started trading stocks. At 15, he got a job as a bank teller, and started saving for retirement at 16. Now in his early 20s, Michael has teamed up with his sister Rebecca Liebman to co-found LearnLux, an enterprise company that aims to help workers achieve the kind of financial wellness he has been chasing throughout his young life. "Growing up, I always had a passion for personal finance and tried to teach myself as much as possible about building wealth," Michael Liebman told Cheddar Wednesday. "And I found that it was really hard to just teach yourself from Google." LearnLux consists of online, interactive learning tools that attempt to educate a company's employees about important financial decisions concerning retirement, benefits, insurance, health care, stock options, and more. "You get your paycheck from your employer, you have one of your primary investment accounts from your employer, you're getting your health insurance primarily through your employer," Michael Liebman said. "So they're giving you all the things that make up how you make money and how you invest your money, but they don't really teach you how to use those effectively." Even as a teen worker at the bank, Liebman said he remembers fielding personal finance questions from coworkers and customers of all ages. That tipped him off that there might be a space in the market for personal finance teaching tools. He's not the only one who sees the opportunity. Rebecca Liebman won big backing from Salesforce ($CRM) CEO Marc Benioff and Ashton Kutcher's firm Sound Ventures at a South by Southwest pitch event, and they later led a $2 million seed round. "They've been amazing investors to have. First \[from\] Benioff, just seeing how you scale a company from nothing to billions and billions of dollars," Rebecca Liebman said. "And Ashton Kutcher has just been really great taking his career and understanding what he's good at ... and using his audience to show people what's going on in tech." The siblings are using the funding to build out a team that can scale their product to something that can be used in enterprises as small as 20 employees or as large as 20,000 employees. And ultimately, they hope to address workers' financial stresses head-on, so they're no longer forced to open up Google and wonder where even to start.

Michigan Judge Sentences Walmart Shoplifters to Wash Parking Lot Cars
A Michigan judge is putting sponges in the hands of shoplifters and ordering them to wash cars in a Walmart parking lot when spring weather arrives. Genesee County Judge Jeffrey Clothier hopes the unusual form of community service discourages people from stealing from Walmart. The judge also wants to reward shoppers with free car washes. Clothier says he began ordering “Walmart wash” sentences this week for shoplifting at the store in Grand Blanc Township. He believes 75 to 100 people eventually will be ordered to wash cars this spring. Clothier says he will be washing cars alongside them when the time comes.
State Department Halts Plan to buy $400M of Armored Tesla Vehicles
The State Department had been in talks with Elon Musk’s Tesla company to buy armored electric vehicles, but the plans have been put on hold by the Trump administration after reports emerged about a potential $400 million purchase. A State Department spokesperson said the electric car company owned by Musk was the only one that expressed interest back in May 2024. The deal with Tesla was only in its planning phases but it was forecast to be the largest contract of the year. It shows how some of his wealth has come and was still expected to come from taxpayers.
Goodyear Blimp at 100: ‘Floating Piece of Americana’ Still Thriving
At 100 years old, the Goodyear Blimp is an ageless star in the sky. The 246-foot-long airship will be in the background of the Daytona 500 — flying roughly 1,500 feet above Daytona International Speedway, actually — to celebrate its greatest anniversary tour. Even though remote camera technologies are improving regularly and changing the landscape of aerial footage, the blimp continues to carve out a niche. At Daytona, with the usual 40-car field racing around a 2½-mile superspeedway, views from the blimp aptly provide the scope of the event.
