By Staff Report
With May 3 kicking off National Small Business Week, the personal-finance company WalletHub released its report on 2026’s Best Large Cities to Start a Business, as well as expert commentary, in order to help entrepreneurs find the right places for their startups to thrive. WalletHub compared 100 U.S. cities across 19 key indicators of startup viability. The data set ranges from the five-year business-survival rate to labor costs to office-space affordability.
Chip Lupo, WalletHub Analyst said, “Starting a business can be very scary, considering one in every five startups doesn’t make it past the first year.

The Money Reset Every Couple Needs
By Brigette Engstrom, Blue Monarch Financial
Money is rarely the real argument in a marriage.
What looks like a disagreement about spending, saving, debt or retirement is often something deeper. It is stress. It is fear. It is control. It is silence that has gone on too long. It is one spouse feeling alone in the responsibility and the other feeling cornered by the conversation. It is two good people, often working hard and trying to do the right thing, slowly drifting onto different financial pages without realizing how far apart they have become.
That is what makes money so powerful inside a relationship. It is never just numbers. Money touches security, freedom, dignity and the future. It affects where a family lives, how they raise children, how they care for aging parents, when they can retire, and whether they feel at peace or under pressure when they look ahead.
American Workers See Real Gains
By David Arnett
With Tax Day right around the corner, President Donald J. Trump is delivering on his promise to put working Americans first. Through historic tax relief, higher wages, and a manufacturing resurgence, his policies are delivering real results for families and service workers across the country.
To highlight his tax agenda, President Trump ordered DoorDash straight to the White House. The delivery driver was Sharon Simmons — a full-time Dasher since 2021. For Sharon, this work is her primary source of income, and like millions of gig workers, restaurant servers, and bartenders, she relies on tips.
Sharon received $11,000 in tips last year — and thanks to President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts, her tips are now tax free. Those savings have been especially meaningful because in 2024, her husband reduced his work hours due to cancer treatment. Sharon has been able to retain her tips to pay for her husband’s cancer treatment debt, supplement her husband’s reduced income, and afford travel expenses to visit family.
