We wouldn't be surprised if women in the US who are mere days from their due date spent most of today urging and encouraging their little ones to make an appearance as soon as possible!
Why? Well, it seems that New York based financial planning company, Voya Financial was offering $500 to any baby born today.
The company are hoping to publicise the benefits of saving for a retirement fund from an early age.

Figures have shown that by the time today's new arrivals are of college age, that $500 will be worth $1,200 and a whopping $12,000 by baby's retirement day. Not a bad little sum at all!
The offer which is taking place during America's National Save for Retirement week, a campaign to drive home the importance of future financial planning, has been gaining a lot of attention online and why wouldn't it? It's not every day you hear that 10,000 babies are due to earn $500 before they've properly opened their eyes for the first time!

It has been reported that having $500 in the bank would give these babies a higher net worth than over 25 million American households. A startling thought, right?
