The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, has invalidated most of the President’s global tariffs. In my NEXT newsletter I wrote about how the American middle class has always been the backbone of the U.S. economy, and tariffs have caused that backbone to feel real pain. We discussed how tariffs: • Have caused consumers who’re already facing higher prices with no increase in income, to trade down. • Shrunk discretionary spending categories as essentials consume more of the budget. • Made businesses to either raise prices more aggressively or thin product selection. Will this moment be the starting point for reinvention?

Extended family support is becoming a built in expense. 👪 Nearly 7 in 10 Americans financially support someone else. According to PYMNTS Intelligence, even two thirds of struggling paycheck to paycheck consumers are sending money to extended family or friends, often covering half of their costs. That obligation is reshaping how households use credit, cut spending and take on extra work. More insight on PYMNTS: https://hubs.ly/Q043-G6X0
