But there was one statistic that made my head spin: 31% of 7- to 9-year-olds use the X (Twitter) app. Parents might be the ones actually using X — and Amazon ShoppingI reached out to Qustodio to ask how to interpret this bizarre number. I asked if perhaps this could be because a child was using a device that they shared with a grown-up. But the X app doesn't let you see tweets if you're not logged in, so it's not actually so easy to accidentally surf around. I don't think Qustodio just invented some fake numbers.

Read previewMore people seem to be talking about canceling their Amazon Prime memberships. But new data suggests Prime membership growth may have bounced back in the US, after seeing a dip for the first time ever in 2022. The increase follows Prime's first-ever drop in membership growth in 2022, when CIRP said its survey data showed Prime "essentially stopped growing" in the US. "An increase in Prime members today means that more US consumers are finding Prime and therefore Amazon shopping is worth the investment in membership." Earlier this week, Amazon started showing ads on its Prime video streaming service for the first time.

I married my husband when we were both 21 years old. We sold our first house for twice what we paid for it, and I found a way to make my English degree pay. We always wait for movies to leave theaters before we see them, and we've walked miles to avoid paid parking. This mindset has saved us a lot of money through the years, even as it shifted from survival strategy to muscle memory. Because honestly, I am pretty sure those younger, hungrier versions of ourselves are the ones who got us here.
