Fifty Percent of U.S. Adults are Getting Help From Mommy!
A startling new survey shows 50% of U.S. adults are getting financial support from their parents!
I'm Tomi Lahren, more next.
Look, the economy has been hard on folks, and especially young adults, no doubt.
BUT this startling report from Savings.com is troublesome to say the least! A staggering 50% of children over 18 are getting some kind of financial support from their parents.
Parents and now spending close to $1500 a month- on average- to subsidize their adult children. That's a 3 year high!
Parents are helping their grown kids pay for a variety of things from their cell phone bills to groceries, insurance and more.
The report suggests it's more expensive to be a young adult these days. Millennials and Gen-Zers are saddled with student loans and high inflation.
All that may be true but I feel little sympathy given I'd bet the farm many of these adult kids are wearing the latest sneakers and an Apple Watch- maybe even going on 'self care' vacations.
This is all unacceptable!

Afterpay, Klarna, Zip warning for Aussie users as major BNPL overhaul hits today: 'You should reconsider'
Australians who use buy now, pay later (BNPL) services have been warned that new regulations coming into force from June 10 could have huge implications on their future. While these platforms have been game-changers for people running a little low on cash, they're now operating under the same rules as credit cards and personal loans. That means services like Afterpay, Klarna, and Zip will conduct stricter checks before giving you the money, along with more oversight and big consequences if you don't stay on top of repayments. David Johnson, CEO of credit reporting firm Talefin, told Yahoo Finance these new laws could push many away from using BNPL services. "If you have any doubt about your ability to make repayments, you should reconsider using BNPL," he said. Dire five-year impact of popular app for Aussie homebuyers Rare $1 coin worth 10 times more due to 'unfortunate' detailMajor Coles move to take on Chemist Warehouse, Bunnings, Amazon His warning stems from how missed payments will now impact your credit score. Up until today, BNPL platforms weren't forced to report your payment history to big credit score firms like Equifax or illion. Lenders can use your credit score to determine whether you're a suitable candidate for a mortgage, personal loan, or credit can already be a red flag for some lenders, whether you've kept up with all your payments or not. However, this update will mean lenders will have even more information about how you handle cash advances. These platforms will now have to report every misstep, stumble, or rough month., "If possible, try to make sure you have more capacity than you need to repay debts, because you never know when unexpected bills might arise," Johnson told Yahoo Finance. "The biggest potential impact on your creditworthiness will be your failure to your repayment obligations. "If you do run into trouble making repayments, over-communicate with your credit provider. "If you are getting into a hardship scenario, more often than not, they will work with you to remedy the situation." Applying for a BNPL service will also be harder from today. For some of the platforms, you only had to fill out a few details and tick a few boxes before you had the money in your account. But now these providers will have to assess your ability to repay before approving your request. They will follow the same rules as credit card companies and lenders by looking at your income, expenses, and existing debts. This is designed to stop people from falling into debt traps that they can't crawl out of. Finder research released last year found 41 per cent of Australians had used BNPL in a six-month period. Gen Z and Millennials were the most likely to use these services compared to older generations. Shockingly, one in three had missed another bill in order to afford their BNPL repayments, while 12 per cent had gone as far as skipping a meal. The University of Sydney found that approximately 40 per cent of BNPL users operated more than one BNPL account, which can increase the risk of overextension and financial stress. Afterpay also reported that more than 10 per cent of surveyed users were advised to close their BNPL accounts and subsequently qualified for a mortgage or were offered a credit card. The government wanted to bring these BNPL services in line with other credit providers. Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones said it gives these platforms "clear obligations" to ensure "vulnerable consumers" don't get credit when they shouldn't. He added that it will also result in enhanced requirements for transparency in fees and charges to help Aussies understand the full cost of these services. It's also aimed at creating a level playing field across the credit industry. Johnson told Yahoo Finance that you should check your BNPL platform's privacy policy to see whether they report to Equifax or illion. They are two of the most popular credit reporting firms and are used by a raft of lenders and credit card companies. "If you find you are struggling to access credit for a more substantial purchase (such as a home loan), make sure you understand why," he said. "For example, do you have a good credit history? Are you asking for an amount that you can service? "If you are not having success with a mortgage broker, try working directly with a credit provider or lender. "Most credit providers will use a score to filter consumers through their broker network, but they will often apply different criteria to direct customers."

Apple unveils watchOS 26 with new design, wrist-flick gesture, and AI Workout Buddy feature
At Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 25) on Monday, the tech giant unveiled watchOS 26, the upcoming software overhaul for the Apple Watch. watchOS 26 will launch with a redesigned interface based on Apple's new Liquid Glass operating system, a wrist-flick gesture, a new Apple Intelligence-powered Workout Buddy fitness feature, and more. The redesigned interface comes as Apple is looking to unify the look and feel of its software across all of its devices. The new wrist-flick gesture can be used to dismiss notifications that you want to address later. You can also use a flick of your wrist to mute incoming calls and silence timers and alarms. Image Credits:TechCrunch/Screenshot Meanwhile, the new 'Workout Buddy' is built with Apple Intelligence, and is designed to motivate you based on your fitness history. It gathers data from your workout and analyzes this data to identify meaningful insights in real-time. It provides you with encouragement, and a new text-to-speech model translates that encouragement into a dynamic, generative voice. The Workout app has also been updated so it's easier to access what you need. As soon as you start your run, Workout Buddy will kick things off with a pep talk. Apple is also bringing the Notes app to the Apple Watch, which it says is perfect for when you want to save a quick note to yourself or view an existing note. With watchOS 26, Apple Watch will also be able to intercept the ambient noise in your environment and automatically adjust the volume of incoming calls and notifications better.

Simone Biles Goes LOWER THAN LOW!
Simone Biles showed her true colors while attacking Riley Gaines and shilling for the patriarchy! I'm Tomi Lahren, more next. You'd think an Olympic female gymnast would be the FIRST to stand up for the integrity of women and girls in sports, but nope. Not in the case of Simone Biles. Instead, she went on a nasty tirade against women's sports defender Riley Gaines, calling her 'sick' a 'sore loser' and then going so low as to make fun of her body. All because Riley rightfully pointed out how TRULY sick and wrong it is for boys to compete against and hijack women's sports and spaces. Simone Biles won't admit it but she dang well knows if she had to compete against a biological man, she would likely have ZERO gold medals. Perhaps she doesn't care to stand up for female athletes because she has already claimed her medals and accolades and it no longer directly impacts her. But what's even worse than her comments, are the number of Democrats who are applauding her for them. Biles once did a whole campaign about female body positivity and now she's making fun of Riley for hers. SICK AND WRONG!
