Barring some dramatic medical advancements, living into your eighties remains the best-case scenario.

Donald Trump has pledged to drastically increase tariffs on foreign goods entering the US if he is elected president again. He has promised tariffs - a form of tax - of up to 20% on goods from other countries and 60% on all imports from China. He has even talked about a 200% tax on some imported cars. Tariffs are a central part of Trump's economic vision - he sees them as a way of growing the US economy, protecting jobs and raising tax revenue.

No casualties or damages were reported in South Korea, but the explosions prompted warning shots from South Korean troops, Seoul’s Ministry of National Defense said in a statement.

Most adults take a look at their lives somewhat frequently to try to figure out where they can save money. It might be cutting one of the streaming services we're not using or trying to dial back the Starbucks PSLs. However, the people on the subreddit r/frugal, take saving money to a whole new level.A recent thread posted by u/Jskyesthelimit was chock full of solid gold advice for anyone looking to trim the budget but who doesn't want to put in a lot of work.(Yeah, yeah — we all know meal-prepping is effective, but who's got the time? We're looking for easy wins, here.)The prompt, "What's the little effortless, stupid thing you do that TECHNICALLY saves you money?", got some responses and tips you've probably never thought of.They're small, they're silly — but they do add up.1. Spend more time outside"if i go outside and play all day, i don't have consumerist urges to buy stupid shit." - looney417Can't spend money if you don't go into a store!It's a good idea to get away from your phone or laptop for a while, too. If you're not careful, you can buy a hundred dollars worth of junk on Amazon before you even realize what's happening.2. Time your dishwasher runs"When our dishwasher is full and ready to be started, I set an alarm on my watch for 9pm. I start the dishwasher when the alarm goes off since the electricity rate goes down after 9pm." - misterfuss Nathan Dumloa/UnsplashDid you know that electricity costs more during "peak hours"? Where I live, power can cost up to 4x as much from 2-7pm versus off-peak hours.Most people run the dishwasher at night anyway, but you should look up your own local peak hours. Starting the nightly load at 9 instead of 8 every night could actually save you a couple of bucks a month.3. Fill a large water bottle at work before you leaveu/MrPerfectionisback swears by this one.Getting a gigantic, high-quality water bottle could be a great investment if you're able to top it off at the office every day and bring your water bill down a smidge.4. Use less laundry detergentMost of us approach laundry detergent with a "fill 'er up" attitude. But, usually, you can get away with even just one tablespoon if your clothes aren't that dirty. and using less will help your clothes last longer.u/jbblue48089 also recommends using solid bar shampoo and dish soap, which have a longer lifespan than liquid soaps.5. Re-wear clothes (other than socks and underwear)Another option from u/ztreHdrahciR — don't wash your clothes at all! At least not right away.Chances are you can get a few wears out of jeans or even t-shirts and save on laundry costs, to the tune of a few dollars per year.6. Make your own doggie poo bags"Use used food bags to pick up the dogs poop." - bezerePoop bags are expensive! You could easily spend $20-50 per year depending on what brand you use.Next time you pack a sandwich for lunch, save that plastic baggie and use it for pick-up duty later on.7. Charge your phone at work (or wherever there's an outlet)A good one from u/runmemymo.Never pass up a chance for free electric!If you don't work in an office, just carry your phone charger with you. Lots of restaurants and even public spaces have outlets so you can get a little free juice.8. Poo at work (or wherever there's a bathroom)u/larkfor says they save a ton of money each year on water and toilet paper by doing their business at work or the office.Never pass up a chance for free water and toilet paper!9. Cut sponges in half Pille R. Priske/Unsplashu/plaincheeseburger recommends turning one sponge into two.It will still work exactly the same and last twice as long.10. Repair old dog toysI love this one from u/pdxarchitecht! My dogs love immediately ripping the stuffing out of new toys, which doesn't feel like a great value for my money.The hack? Put the stuffing back in and add a stitch or two to close it up and save yourself $10 or more.11. Twist the stems off of peppers if paying by weightThis ingenious and petty tip comes from u/casterix75.Not all supermarkets charge by weight for bell peppers (or similar produce), but if they do, why pay for the stem? Twist it off and save yourself a few cents at the checkout.12. Save the cold water when running a shower or bathAn old science teacher taught me this one in high school, recommended in this thread by u/smartquokka. Put a bucket in the shower or bath to collect the cold water while it's heating up. Use that to water plants, fill the dog bowls, or flush the toilet.13. Unplug everything at night Kelly Sikkema/UnsplashMany people recommended this — it's an r/frugal staple. Appliances on standby still use power, so unplug as many things as possible before going to bed. u/Larkfor estimates this saves them $10 a month or so on power.These tips are so small they're almost microscopic, but you know what? Most of them are so easy you'd barely notice a difference in your lifestyle and routine. And all together, you could save yourself a decent chunk of money every year by making a few simple changes.Thanks to the thrifty people of Reddit for sharing their hacks with the rest of us!

An ad meant to intrigue customers to cycling equipment is also striking a chord in phone-weary parents worldwide. Back in September, Spain-based sportswear brand Siroko released an ad onto TikTok with the caption, “How much life is consumed by your phone?” The ad has since racked up over 19 million views, with so many parents commiserating over how “powerful” it is. In the clip (shot “POV” style) we see a young, probably tween age girl receiving presumably her first phone as a Christmas gift. What begins as innocent excitement slowly unravels into a complete loss of spirit as she becomes far too attached to her device—texting from bed, eating while scrolling, being distracted at school, all those very, very common scenarios parents find their kids in. There’s also a brief moment when she clearly stumbles upon content that’s far too mature for young eyes, as indicated by not so subtle moaning sounds and her look of utter shock. Another seriously real issue parents face. Finally we see her phone getting taken away, and she becomes hysterical. Luckily, the video ends on a hopeful note—the girl sees her long forgotten bikes sitting in the garage. She decides to ride it again, and returns to her face. @sirokocom How much life is consumed by your phone? #sport #mentalhealth ♬ sonido original - Siroko For parents navigating childhoods that look so drastically different from their own, this ad really hit home. One person even said it belonged in the Superbowl. Here’s what others had to say: “Omg this ad made me cry. I have a 6 year old and I am terrified at what the future looks like with a digital device in her life.”“As a parent, this had me locked in and feeling 10,000 things.”“Childhood is worth protecting!” “Our sweet children deserve better than this!”“So powerful.” This video not only touches on the fears that so many parents have regarding phones, but also a secret hope burning in their hearts—that maybe even in this modern, tech driven world which forces kids to grow up too fast, their child’s pure, innocent, fleeting joy is still only one bike ride away. That they might still enjoy life in the real world before things become complicated. Still, solving this problem is complicated, with one huge factor being that there’s little consensus or regulation set in place when it comes to setting phone boundaries. That’s why many parents are calling for more widespread collective solutions, like the Wait til 8th movement, which aims to establish 8th grade as the official youngest age for receiving a phone. But even individual families who have taken their kid’s phones away have noticed vast improvement to their overall well being, which is promising. Bottom line: this is a scary problem, and one that should be taken seriously. But not an insurmountable one. Can it be solved with a bike? Maybe not. Or maybe it’s the exact solution we need right now.
