ALL THE MONEY NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Good morning and Happy Friday! This is Betty Lin-Fisher with Friday's consumer-focused edition of The Daily Money.

In case you haven't yet heard, there's breaking news out of the Supreme Court on TikTok. The Justices upheld the law banning the popular app, but whether that means the end of TikTok is far from clear. You can read here for the latest.

Now back to regularly scheduled programming.

More male caregivers are taking on the role of tending to a loved one – a role that traditionally has often fallen on women's plates, a new study reports.

The role also comes with challenges, especially when it comes to balancing family caregiving with a career and other family responsibilities.

One in four male caregivers in a survey of 1,000 American men said they'd hid their caregiving responsibilities from their employers, according to the study by Carewell, an e-commerce platform offering family caregivers products and educational resources.

The three have been searching for permanent housing for over two years. Austin Wardell serves as a full-time caregiver for his father, who suffered seizures in 2018 that left him with brain damage, a broken back, and relying on supplemental oxygen.
