(BPT) – With pencils sharpened and backpacks zipped, American families head back to school facing rising prices. New Empower research finds that 50% of Americans say back-to-school shopping is more expensive this year due to inflation and 31% report feeling stressed about these expenses.

Stress hits hardest for younger generations

Nearly 1 in 3 Americans (31%) report feeling stressed about back-to-school expenses this year, according to new research from Empower. That number climbs sharply among Millennials and Gen Z, where nearly half (43%) say the season comes with financial anxiety.

Nearly 4 in 10 (39%) cite tariffs as a factor making supplies more expensive.

Swiping smart: How families are paying for back-to-school

More than a third of respondents report they’re spending more this year than last year (35%). Americans say they are spending $188 on back-to-school supplies this season, with younger generations spending the bulk:

• Millennials: $394
• Gen Z: $276
• Gen X: $178
• Boomers: $34

To fund these costs, families are turning to a mix of payment strategies:

• 37% use debit cards or checking accounts
• 23% rely on credit cards
• 15% dip into personal savings
• 7% turn to friends or family
• 5% opt for buy now, pay later (BNPL) options

One in 5 Millennials say they use BNPL to pay for back-to-school costs (19%).

Early shoppers

Many are getting a head start: 34% of Americans shop for back-to-school items earlier than they used to in order to spread out costs over time (42% Gen Z, 45% Millennials). Nearly 1 in 5 shop in July (16%), with 22% continuing into August.

A third of Americans (34%) have set aside specific savings for back-to-school expenses, a habit more common among younger generations (46% Gen Z; 48% Millennials).

Cutting back to gear up

To make room in their budgets, Americans — especially younger ones — are trimming elsewhere:

• 42% of Millennials are cutting back in other areas to afford school expenses
• 51% of Americans say even small purchases now feel like big decisions

What’s in the bag?

Back-to-school spending isn’t just about notebooks and pencils anymore. Here’s where the dollars are going:

• School supplies (notebooks, backpacks, etc.): 42%
• Clothing and shoes: 41%
• Technology: 20%
• Transportation (bus passes, gas): 17%
• Extracurriculars (sports, clubs): 13%
• Childcare/afterschool programs: 7%

Deals, discounts and digital help

In a world where every dollar counts, 74% of shoppers say price and discounts top their decision-making list, followed by quality (56%), brand (30%) and loyalty rewards (26%). More than 4 in 10 (43%) Americans say they wait for a sale or discount before purchasing — especially Gen Z (54%) and Millennials (52%).

Tech-savvy shoppers are even turning to artificial intelligence:

• 30% of Millennials have used AI to track down the best deals
• 27% have used AI to build their school shopping lists

(BPT) – Talking to your teen about mental health and drug use can feel challenging — one wrong move and the conversation ends as soon as it begins. But it is possible, and taking that leap can make all the difference in your teen’s life. As a parent or caregiver, it’s important to understand the connection between your teen’s mental health and potential for substance use. Staying connected can reduce their risk for drug use.

On International Overdose Awareness Day, Aug. 31, and Recovery Month, in September, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is raising awareness of the connection between youth substance use and mental health to help prevent teens from trying drugs and worse, overdosing on drugs. Real change can begin to happen by strengthening teens’ connections with their parents and caregivers.

“Teens may use alcohol and other substances to help them cope with mental health challenges like stress, anxiety and depression. Over time, this ongoing use can lead to a substance use disorder,” said Dr. Allison Arwady, Director of CDC’s National Center for Injury Control and Prevention. “Learning about the substances teens may use and proactively supporting teens in areas such as having positive relationships, ensuring they have a strong sense of self and helping them be involved in their community can help them stay healthy.”

Follow these three steps to start a conversation with your teen today:

1. Educate yourself.

Take time to understand the types of substances teens may use and the resources available for you and your teen. Educating yourself on the issues your teen faces can help you navigate through the tough questions.

2. Use everyday opportunities to start talking.

Have honest conversations with your teen. Talking with your teen about their mental health can help create a real connection and even help prevent substance use. Having a shared activity can help both of you feel more relaxed while you talk. This could be playing a sport, gaming, taking a walk or even getting a bite to eat. Avoid pointed questions, listen more than you speak and remember, you don’t have to have the entire conversation at once.

3. Lead with compassion and create a judgment-free zone.

While as a parent this can be difficult as you want to protect and discipline your child, leading conversations with empathy can make teens feel more comfortable coming to you when they have questions or need support. Assure your teen that you will always be there for them, no matter what. Check in regularly to keep the conversation going and help protect them against the pressure to use drugs and alcohol.

Building trust with your teen takes time, and it’s OK if they don’t open up right away. By doing your research and having open conversations, you are showing your teen that their health is your top priority.

If you’re unsure of how to start, the Free Mind campaign for teens has resources available for parents and caregivers. The campaign was created through research and real conversations with youth, parents and caregivers. Visit cdc.gov/freemind/parents.

Walgreens makes it easy to enjoy and prepare for sunny excursions with everything you need for your end of summer bag that’s also easy on the budget — from drinks and snacks to high-performing sun care products.

Quality summer skin protection without the splurge

Sun protection is crucial during summer months due to increased exposure to harmful UV rays.

(BPT) – In the business world, talent and tenacity are often described as the ultimate equalizers. But for many startup founders — especially those from underrepresented backgrounds — the reality is more complicated. Access to capital remains uneven. Networks that open doors to advisors, investors and early customers are often closed circles. These structural challenges can stall progress before it even begins.

Despite these headwinds, founders from these communities are launching some of the most resilient, creative ventures in technology today. What’s needed isn’t just grit — it’s access, context-specific support and a clear path to scale.

Now underrepresented founders have a new opportunity that can help supercharge their success.

Amazon Web Services (AWS), in partnership with Techstars, a pre-seed investor backing startups building a better future for everyone, recognizes the importance of helping founders create transformative solutions, and as part of this commitment, they’ve recently launched a global initiative designed to support underrepresented founders around the globe.

Enter the AWS Impact Bootcamps

If you’re an underrepresented founder building something bold, AWS Impact Bootcamps are for you. Over two days, you’ll get deep technical training with real tools, expert business advice from people who’ve done it before and direct access to mentors, investors and support that actually matters.

AWS Impact Bootcamps builds on AWS’s $30 million commitment to Black, Women, Latino, and LGBTQIA+ founders launched in 2022 and scales AWS’s global footprint in supporting hundreds more diverse founders beyond the U.S. to reach other countries around the world.

For many early-stage founders, the distance between a great idea and a fundable startup isn’t talent — it’s translation. Turning a product into a business means understanding how to pitch, how to price and how to map a go-to-market strategy. But, for founders who don’t have access to seasoned advisors, this translation gap can stall momentum.

This is where initiatives like the AWS Impact Bootcamps come in. By designing a curriculum specifically around the most acute challenges underrepresented founders face, the bootcamps aim to equip participants with tools that often take years to acquire.

Scaling access, one city at a time

Each bootcamp accommodates up to 50 founders per city, delivering focused training on critical business themes like sales, GTM (go-to-market) or fundraising. The AWS Impact Bootcamps program will launch in six cities across North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia-Pacific:

• Atlanta, Georgia, United States (Sept. 8-9)
• New York, New York, United States (Sept. 15-16)
• Mexico City, Mexico (Oct. 1-2, 2025)
• London, United Kingdom (Oct. 16-17, 2025)
• Tokyo, Japan (TBD early 2026)
• Berlin, Germany (TBD early 2026)

Each bootcamp will deliver an intensive two-day experience, equipping early-stage, underrepresented founders with deep technical training with real tools, expert business advice and access to mentors, investors and community, in addition to $5,000 in AWS promotional credits to get building on the world’s leading cloud. Workshops will be managed locally by the program partner, Techstars.

Join the next generation of founders

To apply, founding teams must identify as a member of an underrepresented community (Black, Women, Latino, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and founders with disabilities), or demonstrate work, activities or engagement that otherwise supports such communities. Applicants must also demonstrate clear cloud technology needs and have secured pre-seed or angel funding up to $2 million. Additionally, they should be operating with a publicly launched product, be under 5 years old and commit to the full two-day program.

Founders can learn more about the AWS Impact Bootcamps here: https://aws.amazon.com/startups/lp/aws-impact-bootcamps.

(BPT) – Electric vehicles have put a charge into the U.S. automotive market, but there’s a burning question many drivers still have: How can tires help them get the most out of their EVs?

From October 2024 to January 2025, hybrid and electric vehicles accounted for 25% of new vehicle sales in the United States — a 32% year-over-year increase, according to S&P Global.

The American EV segment may be showing electrifying growth these days, but global tiremaker Nokian Tyres has developed tires with EVs in mind for many years. Way back in 2012, the inventor of the winter and all-weather passenger tires set a world record for the fastest electric vehicle on ice. Every tire the company makes comes with an Electric Fit marking that certifies it’s a seamless fit for EVs.

What does Nokian Tyres have to say about EV tires? And how are tiremakers working hard to meet the needs of this emerging market?

It starts by recognizing the unique demands electric vehicles place on tires.

Weight

Electric vehicles are generally 10 to 15% heavier than internal combustion engine vehicles. That places extra wear and tear on traditional tires. Rubber that isn’t durable enough to withstand the added bulk will wear out more quickly, and sometimes irregularly.

That makes blowouts more likely and driving less efficient. The added weight can also increase braking time and cause handling issues on challenging surfaces, such as rain or wintry precipitation.

Tiremakers seek to account for the heavier load by constructing tires with heavier-duty materials and formulating rubber compounds to be more responsive to the road. Nokian Tyres reinforces its EV-compatible products with robust internal structures and advanced materials that maintain stability and durability under heavier loads. The result is a tire that delivers confident handling and long-lasting performance, even under the increased demands of electric mobility.

Noise

Without the hum of an engine, EVs make road noise more noticeable. The main sound drivers notice in the cabin is the noise of tires touching the road. Tire manufacturers seek to mitigate noise frequencies by using tread patterns, rubber compounds and materials that dampen sound waves.

Nokian Tyres addresses this with innovative noise-reduction technologies, including silent sidewall designs and optimized tread patterns that absorb sound and reduce vibration. Nokian Tyres inserts acoustic foam into its dedicated EV winter products, the Nokian Tyres Hakkapeliitta 10 EV and R5 EV. The result is a smoother, quieter ride that complements the serene driving experience EV owners expect.

Torque

Electric vehicles are powerful. They often deliver two to three times more torque than comparable ICE vehicles, especially in the mainstream and luxury segments. And because that torque is available instantly, EVs feel quicker and more responsive in everyday driving.

That extra acceleration power presents a challenge to tires, since rapid changes in speed can cause them to wear more quickly. Drivers should pursue tires that can withstand high torque and deliver grip that maximizes their vehicles’ acceleration power. The key: tread patterns and rubber compounds that balance durability and responsiveness.

Nokian Tyres engineers its EV tires with advanced tread compounds and reinforced structures that resist abrasion and maintain grip under sudden acceleration. This helps drivers enjoy the full performance of their EVs without compromising safety or longevity.

Range

Tire design plays a critical role in EV range. High rolling resistance can drain battery life, while optimized tires can help extend it.

How do tiremakers lower the rolling resistance of their tires, helping to optimize EV range? Design plays a big role. According to Nokian Tyres, a tire’s sidewall construction, tread pattern and rubber compound play a role in reducing rolling resistance.

Nokian Tyres’ EV-compatible products feature low-rolling-resistance compounds that reduce energy loss and improve efficiency; in fact, more than 90% of Nokian Tyres products rank in the lowest categories of rolling resistance. This means drivers can go farther on a single charge — an essential benefit for those looking to maximize their vehicle’s potential.

For the right driver, electric vehicles can offer big advantages over rides powered by internal combustion engines. But that’s only true if the tires are up to the challenge.
