President Donald Trump has proposed a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, with Israel&#8217;s agreement. The proposal will be delivered to Hamas by mediators from Qatar and Egypt.
What Happened: Trump, in a social media post on Tuesday, urged Hamas, an Iran-backed militant group, to accept the &#8220;final proposal&#8221; for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza. According to Reuters' report, the proposal will be presented to Hamas by representatives from Qatar and Egypt. Trump stated that Israel has agreed to the conditions for the ceasefire.

The U.S. President is scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday. The two leaders are expected to discuss the ongoing conflict in Gaza, which began on October 7th, 2023.

Trump expressed hope that a ceasefire-for-hostages agreement can be reached next week between Israel and Hamas. However, Israel has made it clear that the war can only end if Hamas is disarmed and dismantled, a condition Hamas has refused to accept.
Why It Matters: The proposal comes after a series of events that have escalated tensions in the region. Earlier in June, Trump and Netanyahu were reported to be working on a plan to end the ongoing war in Gaza and expand the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46133523/trump-and-israels-netanyahu-working-on-plan-to-end-gaza-war-expand-abraham-accords-report">Abraham Accords</a>. This proposal would require Israel to commit to supporting a future Palestinian state.
The proposed ceasefire comes at a crucial time, with the Middle East facing heightened tensions. Just last week, Israel accused Iran of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46072859/trump-says-israel-is-not-going-to-attack-iran-after-ceasefire-violation-turn-around-and-head-home">violating a U.S.-brokered ceasefire</a>, sparking concerns about the durability of the truce.

Trump Says Israel Ready For 60 Day Ceasefire In Gaza, Hopes Hamas Takes The Deal Because It Won't 'Get Better'

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) founder and executive chairman, Jeff Bezos, has offloaded another significant chunk of the company&#8217;s shares, worth $737 million, over three transactions, late last week and early this week.
Check out the current price of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AMZN" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AMZN stock here.</a>
What Happened: According <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1018724/000101872425000068/xslF345X03/wk-form4_1751401526.xml">to</a> an SEC Form-4 filing dated July 1, Bezos offloaded a total of 3,324,926 Amazon shares from June 27 to June 30. 
This was done as part of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on March 4, 2025, which essentially allows corporate insiders to sell shares at predetermined times and volumes, helping them avoid accusations of insider trading.
According to the filing, the largest block of over 3 million shares was sold at a weighted average price of $221.41 on June 27. An additional 16,860 shares were sold the same day at an average price of $222.39.

On June 30, Bezos sold another 224,926 shares at an average price of $223.56, bringing the total proceeds from the sales to $737 million.
Despite the sizable liquidation, Bezos remains Amazon's largest individual shareholder by far. Following the recent transactions, he still holds 905 million shares of Amazon stock, which at Tuesday&#8217;s closing price of $220.46, is valued at just under $200 billion.
Why It Matters: This comes just days after Bezos tied the knot with long-time partner Lauren Sanchez, in a star-studded <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/46136092/jeff-bezos-lauren-sanchez-wedding-draws-star-studded-guest-list-to-venice-here-are-the-celebs-who-showed-up-so-far">$50 million wedding</a> in Venice last week, which is now being dubbed the &#8220;Wedding of the Century.&#8221;
According to a 10-Q filing made two months ago, the Amazon founder plans to sell a stake <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/insider-trades/25/05/45175915/jeff-bezos-to-unload-almost-5-billion-in-amazon-stock-filing">worth nearly $5 billion</a> in the e-commerce giant through May of 2026, with the proceeds being earmarked for his space exploration company, Blue Origin, alongside other ventures.
Bezos has a net worth of $240 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, with his stake in Amazon making up a substantial portion of this figure, and the rest from Blue Origin, which is calculated based <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/profiles/jeffrey-p-bezos/">on</a> the cost of investment.
Price Action: Shares of Amazon were up 0.49% on Tuesday, trading at $220.46, and are up 0.10% after hours.

According to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, Amazon shares score well on Growth, but poorly on other factors. They do, however, have a favorable price trend in the short, medium and long terms.

Jeff Bezos Sells $737 Million Worth Of Amazon Stock Just Days After Lavish Venetian Wedding

On Tuesday, jurors in Sean &#8220;Diddy&#8221; Combs&#8217; criminal trial reached <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/46132181/sean-diddy-combs-fate-sealed-polymarket-crypto-bettors-foresee-high-chances-of-a-guilty-verdict-in-sex-trafficking-trial">verdicts on four charges</a> but remain deadlocked on the racketeering conspiracy charge.
What Happened: The jury has decided on the two counts of sex trafficking and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. However, they were unable to come to a unanimous decision regarding the racketeering conspiracy charge, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/sean-combs-partial-verdict-diddy-newsletter-rcna216170">reported</a> CNBC.
The jury cited &#8220;unpersuadable&#8221; opinions as the reason for the deadlock.
U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian responded by instructing the jury to continue deliberating the racketeering charge. The legal teams for both the prosecution and defense agreed to continue the discussions.

"I remind you of the instructions I gave you yesterday," Subramanian stated, adding, "You should not hesitate to change an opinion when convinced, weigh your opinion dispassionately and follow my instructions on the law."
The jury is scheduled to return to the federal courthouse on Wednesday for further deliberations on the remaining charge, the report said.
Why It&#8217;s Important: Previously, rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson said that if Diddy ends up convicted, he would personally urge President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/06/45713681/50-cent-says-hell-personally-ask-trump-not-to-pardon-diddy-if-disgraced-rapper-is-convicted-donald-doesnt-take-well-to-disrespect">not to grant him a pardon</a>.
When asked whether he'd consider a pardon, Trump told reporters he'd review the details first, adding that if he believed someone was treated unfairly, his opinion wouldn't be swayed by whether they liked him or not.
Diddy Combs launched Bad Boy Records back in 1993, signing iconic artists like The Notorious B.I.G., Mase and Faith Evans. The label became a defining force in ‘90s and 2000s hip-hop, producing 13 chart-topping albums between 1997 and 2022, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/musicians-diddys-label-bad-boy-records-2024-11#b5-15">reported</a> Business Insider.
However, both Bad Boy and Diddy earned a reputation over the years for being notoriously tough business partners, with several artists publicly clashing with the label.
Before facing criminal charges in September 2024 — which include allegations of racketeering and sex trafficking — Diddy had already started returning publishing rights for some of Bad Boy's biggest hits to the original artists, as long as they signed certain agreements, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/sean-diddy-combs-reassigns-bad-boy-publishing-rights-artists-songwriters/">according</a> to Billboard.

What Happened: Bitcoin went downhill, hitting an intraday low of $105,157.40. The trading volume rose over 6% in the last 24 hours, suggesting significant sell pressure. Ethereum trended downward in the $2,400 region.
The decline erased over $220 million worth of bullish longs, with total liquidations reaching $258 million.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, over $500 million in short positions risked liquidation if Bitcoin surges to $109,000.
Bitcoin&#8217;s open interest fell 3.38% in the last 24 hours, while Ethereum recorded a gain of 0.88%. When open interest increases while the price falls, it suggests that more traders are entering short positions.
The "Greed" sentiment prevailed in the market, according to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez noticed a Bitcoin bearish signal that has historically "predicted every major crash."
The TD Sequential just gave a quarterly sell signal. This is a rare warning," Martinez said. "If it plays like before, Bitcoin can drop below $40,000.
The bold prediction didn't go too well with users on X, many of whom dismissed his findings.

UnitedHealthcare Group, Gryphon Digital Mining, AMC Entertainment, Centene, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

On Tuesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades involving Tesla Inc. and Coinbase Global Inc. . These trades reflect Ark&#8217;s strategic positioning amid ongoing market developments. The transactions occurred as Tesla faced a dip in share price due to external factors, while Coinbase dealt with legal challenges.
The Tesla Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s flagship fund, ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>), acquired 43,126 shares of the Elon Musk-led company, while ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>) added 13,242 shares to its portfolio. The total value of these purchases, based on the latest closing price, amounts to $16.95 million. Tesla shares ended the day at $300.71.
Despite a recent decline in Tesla&#8217;s stock, driven by Musk&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46206369/whats-going-on-with-tesla-shares-today-2">public disagreement</a> with former President Donald Trump over a federal spending bill, Ark remains bullish on Tesla&#8217;s long-term potential.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="443" height="284" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/01210925/Screenshot-2025-07-02-at-10.08.56.png" alt="" class="wp-image-969435" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/01210925/Screenshot-2025-07-02-at-10.08.56.png 443w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/01210925/Screenshot-2025-07-02-at-10.08.56-300x192.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 443px) 100vw, 443px" /></a></figure>
Meanwhile, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives has reiterated his optimistic outlook on Tesla, highlighting it as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/07/46192638/tesla-is-one-of-the-two-best-physical-ai-plays-says-dan-ives-as-he-expects-2-trillion-in-valuation-were-not-even-factoring-optimus">leading player in the physical AI sector</a>. Ives projects a $2 trillion valuation for the company, excluding potential earnings from its humanoid robot, Optimus. Tesla is Ark Invest&#8217;s largest holding, making up 9.7% of its portfolio by weight. The market value of Ark&#8217;s Tesla shares stands at $664.7 million.
The Coinbase Trade
In contrast, Ark Invest reduced its stake in Coinbase by selling 9,116 shares through ARKW. This decision comes as Coinbase faces legal hurdles, with the Supreme Court denying an appeal to prevent the IRS from accessing user data. On Tuesday, Coinbase shares closed at $335.33. The Ark transaction was valued at $3.06 million.
The legal head of Coinbase, a platform that allows trade in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), has vowed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/07/46187838/coinbase-legal-head-vows-to-continue-the-fight-after-supreme-court-rejects-appeal-to-block-irs-from-accessing-user-data">continue the fight</a>, underscoring the ongoing challenges the company faces in navigating regulatory landscapes.

Cathie Wood Doubles Down On Tesla Amid Elon Musk's Feud With Trump, Sells $3 Million Worth Of Coinbase Stock

There's no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to major life milestones. In fact, when the <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/03/19/best-age-to-get-married-have-a-child-buy-a-home-and-retire-heres-what-americans-say/">Pew Research Center</a> asked more than 3,600 U.S. adults about the "best age" to get married, have a child, buy a home, or retire, a significant portion said there isn't one.&nbsp;
But among those who do think there's an ideal age, some clear patterns emerged — and they vary depending on age, income, religion, and political views.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When Is the Best Age to Get Married?</h2>
Roughly half of Americans say there's no ideal age for tying the knot. But among those who do offer a number, about 23% say ages 25 to 29 are best. The average across all responses comes out to 26.5 years old.
Despite this average, real-world trends show marriage is happening later. According to Pew's previous analysis of Census Bureau data, a record 25% of 40-year-olds in the U.S. had never been married as of 2021 — up significantly from prior generations.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When Should You Have Your First Child?</h2>
Here too, 40% of Americans say there's no best age to become a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42805973/300000-and-counting-the-cost-of-a-decision-many-parents-regret">parent</a>. But among those who gave a specific age, 28% said 25 to 29 was the sweet spot. The national average answer: 27.3 years old.
That lines up closely with real-life data — the average age of first-time mothers in the U.S. is 27.5, according to <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/births.htm">data</a> from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Parents tend to recommend becoming one slightly earlier, at age 26.9, than those without children, who recommend age 27.9.
Still, views are shifting. A separate <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2024/07/25/the-experiences-of-u-s-adults-who-dont-have-children/">Pew survey</a> found nearly half of U.S. adults under 50 who don't have kids say they're unlikely to ever have them.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What About Buying a Home?</h2>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/what-to-look-for-when-buying-a-house">Buying a first home</a> is a major goal for many Americans, but half of those surveyed said there's no single best age to do it. Among those who gave a number, most suggested sometime between 25 and 34. The average ideal age was 28.8 years old.
Homeowners were slightly more likely to suggest buying earlier, at 28.4, than renters, who suggested age 30 was ideal. But affordability remains a hurdle. The <a href="https://www.nar.realtor/research-and-statistics/research-reports/highlights-from-the-profile-of-home-buyers-and-sellers">National Association of Realtors</a> says the median age of first-time homebuyers is now 38 — nearly a decade later than what most survey respondents consider ideal.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When's the Best Time to Retire?</h2>
Retirement views also vary widely. About a third of Americans say there's no ideal age, but 26% say ages 65 to 69 are best. The average response was 61.8.
That's younger than when full Social Security benefits typically begin — between ages 65 and 67, depending on your birth year. Still, the idea of working past 65 is becoming more common. Pew reports that 19% of Americans over 65 were employed in 2023.
See Also: Many are using retirement income calculators to check if they&#8217;re on pace —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-do-i-calculate-my-retirement-income-adv"> here&#8217;s a breakdown on what&#8217;s behind this formula.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Factors That Influence Views on Milestones</h2>
Pew found that perspectives on milestone timing vary by demographic. For example, younger adults tend to suggest later ages for marriage and children, but an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45609421/i-am-just-done-gen-x-er-wants-to-retire-at-55-but-has-no-money-saved-in-a-single-income-household-why-does-everyt">earlier retirement age</a>. Republicans lean toward younger ideal ages for most milestones — except retirement — compared with Democrats.
Income and religion also play a role. Higher-income adults and those who say religion is less important tend to suggest later ages for marriage, parenthood, and retirement than their lower-income or more religious counterparts.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line</h2>
While averages can give a snapshot, many Americans agree there's no perfect timeline for life's biggest moments. Personal values, finances, and changing societal norms all shape what feels like the "right time." For most, it's less about hitting a specific number — and more about being ready when the moment comes.

Is There A 'Best Age' for Major Life Milestones? What Americans Say About Marriage, Kids, Owning A Home, And Retirement

Senate Republicans have managed to pass President Donald Trump&#8217;s massive tax-and-spending bill, a package that could add $3.3 trillion to the national debt. The legislation is now set to move to the House of Representatives for potential final approval.
What Happened: The Senate passed the bill by a narrow margin on Tuesday, as reported by Reuters. The bill, which encompasses tax cuts, reductions in social safety net programs, and increased spending on the armed forces and immigration enforcement, is now headed to the House of Representatives. Despite opposition from some Republicans, Trump wants to sign it into law by the July 4 holiday.
The bill also extends Trump&#8217;s 2017 tax cuts, introduces new tax breaks for income from tips and overtime pay. It proposes to cut about $930 billion of spending on the Medicaid health program and food aid for low-income Americans. It also plans to repeal many of former President Joe Biden&#8217;s green-energy incentives.

The legislation, which has highlighted Republican divides over $36.2 trillion debt, would raise the federal government&#8217;s self-imposed debt ceiling by $5 trillion. The Senate passed the measure in a 51-50 vote with Vice President JD Vance breaking a tie. The vote followed an all-night debate in which Republicans grappled with the bill&#8217;s price tag and its impact on the healthcare system.
The vote in the House, where Republicans hold a 220-212 majority, is expected to be close. Trump, who will be &#8220;deeply involved&#8221; in pushing House Republicans to approve the bill, described it as a &#8220;great bill&#8221; and said that &#8220;it&#8217;s going to go very nicely in the House.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The bill has sparked controversy and opposition. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) warned that the bill&#8217;s passage could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/46165307/us-credit-rating-would-fall-if-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-is-approved-says-thomas-massie-heres-what-it-means-for-americans">downgrade the U.S. credit rating to BBB status</a>, signaling financial distress. 
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) criticized the bill as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46160881/bernie-sanders-slams-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-as-a-gift-for-billionaires-the-most-dangerous-piece-of-legislation-in-modern-history">&#8220;gift to the billionaire class,&#8221; </a>causing harm to millions of working-class American families. Furthermore, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc., expressed his displeasure over the bill and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46187403/elon-musk-is-unhappy-with-trumps-big-beautiful-bill-and-just-reminded-everyone-that-80-voted-for-a-new-party">threatened to launch</a> an &#8220;America Party&#8221; if Congress approves the spending package.

Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) filed a lawsuit in California last week, accusing former senior design engineer Di Liu of stealing confidential company information before<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46207800/whats-going-on-with-snap-shares-today"> leaving to work at </a>Snap Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNAP#NYSE">SNAP</a>).&nbsp;
The Details: Apple alleged that Liu downloaded thousands of sensitive files and stored them in his personal cloud accounts during his final days at the company, according to <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/01/apple-lawsuit-trade-secrets-di-liu-snap.html">CNBC</a>.&nbsp;
Liu, who worked on the Vision Pro headset, reportedly did not disclose that he was joining Snap, a competitor in the smart glasses market, when he resigned late last year.&nbsp;

As a result, Apple granted him the standard two-week transition period, during which he allegedly accessed and copied proprietary files.
Apple's legal team stated that Liu used his company credentials to transfer documents containing project code names, technical details, product designs, and supply chain information.&nbsp;
Apple also suggested that the information Liu took could benefit Snap's augmented reality products, though Apple did not take legal action against Snap itself.
Snap responded by saying they found no evidence that the allegations related to Liu's work at their company. Apple sought damages and requested a forensic review of Liu's devices to ensure all sensitive data was deleted.&nbsp;
Why It Matters: Snap<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45893545/snapchat-parent-to-launch-light-weight-ar-smart-glasses-to-compete-with-meta-apple"> recently announced</a> that it will launch Specs, a pair of lightweight, immersive AR glasses, in 2026.&nbsp;
Specs are described as an ultra-powerful wearable computer built into a lightweight glasses frame, featuring see-through lenses that blend digital experiences with the physical world.
In related industry news, Meta is reportedly preparing to launch a new version of its smart glasses, priced between $1,000 and $1,400, featuring a built-in screen and hand-gesture controls, as competition intensifies with Apple's $3,500 Vision Pro.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Meta Platforms Stock In The Last 10 Years

A <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/gaming/25/06/46082294/netflix-is-turning-squid-game-into-something-bigger-as-fortnite-tries-to-keep-up">third and final season</a> of "Squid Game" has been out for less than a week and is already among the most-watched premieres in Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) history.
Here's a look at the first week viewership for "Squid Game" season 3 and how it stacks up in history.
What Happened: The third season of "Squid Game" fell shy of the record premiere week figures from<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42751367/netflix-posts-record-debut-with-squid-game-season-2-heres-how-many-people-watched-show"> the second season, </a>but managed to break a Netflix record of the most views in a show's first three days.
Season 3 of "Squid Game" brought in 60.1 million <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/top10/tv-non-english">views </a>in its first three days with 368.4 million hours watched. The show ranked number one in 93 countries.
Also ranking in the top 10 for non-English series was the second season of "Squid Game" with 2.8 million views, to rank third and the first season of the series ranking sixth with 1.7 million views.
For comparison, the second season premiere had 68 million views in its first week, which included four days and was around the Christmas 2024 holiday. With the extra day and the holiday, the second season likely had an unfair advantage in setting the record over the third season. Season 2 debuted at number one in 92 countries. The second season broke the Netflix premiere viewership record of 50.1 million previously set by "Wednesday."
During the second season's premiere week, 487.6 million hours were watched. The first season ranked third during the same week with 8.1 million views, which is more than the number watching the first two seasons combined during the third season's premiere week.

Why It's Important: The third and final season of "Squid Game" will continue to climb the all-time <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/top10/most-popular/tv-non-english">leaderboard</a>, where the first two seasons currently lead. The first season ranks first all time with 265.2 million views in its first four weeks, followed by the second season with 192.6 million views in its first four weeks. This ranks first and second among non-English series.
The third season already ranks ninth among non-English series and could end up in the top three based on historical interest in the series.
"Wednesday" tops the English series viewership all-time list with 252.1 million views in its first four weeks.
The end of "Squid Game" could be a historical event for Netflix as its top series ever and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/entertainment/25/06/46180148/netflixs-squid-game-ends-or-does-it">could see the company</a> turn to spinoffs and remakes to extend the life of the series.
Outside of the finale of "Squid Game," Netflix has new seasons of "Wednesday" and "Stranger Things" coming in the second half of 2025, along with live sports and other content.
NFLX Price Action: Netflix stock closed down 3.40% to $1,293.60 on Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $588.43 to $1,341.15. Netflix stock is up over 45% year-to-date in 2025.

Squid Game Final Season Falls Shy Of Record: Here's How Many Watched Season 3

A recent call to &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/DaveRamsey/status/1938614043801014663">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; took a personal and unexpected turn when a listener shared a troubling story about a so-called gift from his grandmother.
&#8220;About a year back, my grandma gave my wife and I a gift of $9,000 for a home. We were grateful and we offered to pay her back, but she told us, &#8216;Don&#8217;t worry about it.&#8217; She was so happy to help us out,&#8221; the caller said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;She Wants All The Money Back Plus Interest&#8217;</h2>
Things took a turn when the grandmother recently reached out, not with a friendly check-in, but with a demand.
&#8220;She wrote us a letter in the mail saying that she wants all the money back, plus interest, and in the letter never mentioned that it was a gift to us,&#8221; the caller explained. The total amount she now says she's owed? $12,000.
The couple still has paperwork showing the money was filed as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44884152/can-i-gift-my-son-17000-for-student-loans-and-get-a-tax-deduction-heres-what-suze-orman-says">gift for tax purposes</a>. When host Dave Ramsey asked the caller about their income, he shared that they bring in about $70,000 after taxes.
Ramsey called it like he saw it. &#8220;Okay, is she mentally ill or is she just a liar?&#8221; he asked. The caller replied, &#8220;She&#8217;s a liar. She&#8217;s been diagnosed as a narcissist and a liar.&#8221;
&#8220;You do not morally owe her a dime,&#8221; he said and instructed him to tell her over the phone, &#8220;We have paperwork that shows that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-give-stock-as-a-gift">it&#8217;s a gift</a>. I love you but I don&#8217;t love this behavior and I&#8217;m not going to pay you because I don&#8217;t owe you.&#8221;

Still, Ramsey acknowledged the emotional fallout likely to follow: &#8220;She&#8217;s going to be Mount Vesuvius because she likes to pull people&#8217;s strings and when they don&#8217;t dance at the end of her string she has a little fit.&#8221;
The caller confirmed this had been a lifelong pattern. &#8220;This is 100% what this woman is,&#8221; he said. Ramsey added, &#8220;I kind of think when you give her 12 grand, you&#8217;re probably going to get a letter that goes &#8216;Oh yeah, I forgot about the other thousand you still owe.'&#8221;
He went on to say, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if you&#8217;re ever going to make her happy. So I&#8217;m not sure paying her is going to work. I am sure not paying her is going to piss her off.&#8221;
The caller agreed, adding, &#8220;Absolutely.&#8221;
Ramsey's final word of advice? Confront her with the facts and set boundaries. &#8220;It&#8217;s a lie. And you told me this, and I&#8217;m going with what you told me, and we&#8217;re not going to pay you.&#8221;
While legal obligations may be absent, the emotional toll of standing firm against family pressure can be heavy.

$100 Invested In Crocs 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Rocket Lab Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) shares are up more than 650% over the past year and the company is on a hot streak of rapid, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/space/25/06/46185205/rocket-lab-breaks-records-and-stock-up-640-in-past-year-ast-spacemobile-impresses-defense-kuiper-grows">successful launches. </a>
Last weekend, Rocket Lab completed two rocket launches from the same site within 48 hours, a record turnaround for the company.&nbsp;
What To Know: Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7NAK5xMN1w"> joined </a>CNBC's Closing Bell Overtime on Monday where he highlighted strong demand for launches from both commercial and government customers, especially as the market seeks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46119769/rocket-lab-rklb-stock-hits-a-new-all-time-high-whats-going-on">more competition</a> beyond SpaceX.&nbsp;

In fact, the CEO said that demand is one thing he does not worry about.&nbsp;
"I worry about a lot of things at night, but that's probably not one of them — is demand," Beck said. 
Rocket Lab's smaller Electron rocket is seeing increased use, often launching entire satellite constellations, and its upcoming Neutron rocket aims to break SpaceX's dominance in the medium-lift market.
The company has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/05/45633311/rocket-lab-stock-surges-on-geost-acquisition-strengthening-companys-positioning-for-golden-dome"> also expanded </a>through acquisitions, including Geost and a German firm, Manaric. These moves allow Rocket Lab to offer end-to-end services by building not just rockets and spacecraft, but also payloads, which strengthens its position in national security and defense.
Beck noted that about half of Rocket Lab's business comes from commercial customers and half from governments, with national security becoming increasingly important as global instability drives up demand for space assets.
RKLB Price Action: Rocket Lab shares are up 656% over the past year and ended Tuesday's session at $34.33, according to<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw"> Benzinga Pro.</a>&nbsp;

650% Later, Rocket Lab CEO Isn't One Bit Worried

Summer may be just getting underway, but plenty of parents are already planning their spending for the upcoming school year.&nbsp;
Nearly 75% of parents plan to spend the same or more on back-to-school shopping this year, a consumer survey from <a href="https://www.pwc.com/us/en/industries/consumer-markets/library/back-to-school-education-spending.html">PwC</a> found. And more than one in three parents actually plan to spend more this year than they have previously.
Economic uncertainties and the effects of the tariffs had many experts uncertain as to whether or not back-to-school shopping would drop sharply this fall. But PwC's findings seem to indicate that inflationary fatigue won't curb demand after all.

"A lot of it is necessities. It's people knowing that they're going to have to get this specific book, or these specific supplies for school or they require technology for their kids," PwC Global Retail Leader Kelly Pedersen told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/24/back-to-school-consumer-spending.html">CNBC</a>. "This is just a necessary spend."
However, anxiety about the impacts of tariffs hasn't entirely dissipated. "A lot of the average consumers in the U.S. sort of feel this cloud hanging above of, when are the tariffs going to hit, and what are those going to do to prices," Pedersen said.
Several popular back-to-school retailers, like Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Target (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>), have said they plan to raise prices as a result of the tariffs. "We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible. But given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren&#8217;t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said on an <a href="https://corporate.walmart.com/content/dam/corporate/documents/newsroom/2025/05/15/walmart-releases-q1-fy26-earnings/q1-fy26-earnings-call-transcript.pdf">earnings call</a> in May.

PwC also cautions that the mid-May tariff rollback, which fueled a rush of exports from China, may cause uneven inventory availability. However, it remains optimistic that retailers will have remedied these supply chain concerns by the time back-to-school shopping is in full swing.
For parents looking to save money this fall, prioritizing discounts and shopping early are the two most common methods for cutting costs. Reusing items and cutting back in specific categories like technology and clothing are also popular strategies.
The study also found that one in five parents plan to use AI tools to help them discover the best deals on back-to-school items. "This helps create a growing imperative for retailers to enhance their digital channels and search visibility for AI-powered discovery," the report said.&nbsp;

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Roper Technologies Stock In The Last 20 Years

World's richest billionaire Elon Musk could be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46186733/elon-musk-staging-a-political-comeback-tesla-ceo-sparks-america-party-buzz-as-he-slams-trumps-insane-spending-bill">ready to influence</a> future U.S. elections with a promise to create the American Party if the "Big Beautiful Bill" passes in Congress.
While Musk is armed with billions of dollars and has large influence worldwide, he could face an uphill battle with a third party.
What Happened: Musk has been at odds with the Big Beautiful Bill<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45845332/musk-vs-trump-poll-says-this-is-the-person-to-support-in-feud-while-near-majority-say-they-would-publicly-support-neither"> in recent months</a>, creating a falling out of sorts with President Donald Trump and sending shares of Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) lower on several occasions.
Once friends and coworkers in the White House, the battle between Musk and Trump is very public once again with Musk's criticism of the bill backed by Trump that would increase America's debt.
"Anyone who campaigned on the PROISE of REDUCING SPENDING, but continues to vote on the BIGGEST DEBT ceiling increase in HISTORY will see their face on this poster in the primary next year," Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1939861925514682487">tweeted </a>with a poster featuring Pinocchio and saying LIAR in big letters.
This tweet from Musk was ran as an ad on the social media platform for some time Monday night, suggesting Musk was spending money to spread the word as the bill made its way through the Senate.
"If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day. Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE," another <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1939806847504105683">tweet </a>from Musk said.
The recent tweets from Musk come as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46102335/democratic-party-implodes-as-maga-revolts-can-musk-yang-build-third-party">Benzinga recently highlighted</a> the potential rise of a third party or independent candidate to win the New York mayor race after Zohran Mamdani won the primary and remains unpopular with many voter groups in America.
Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang established the Forward Party and, according to The Hill, reached out to billionaire&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;as recently as this month to collaborate on a third party.
Yang&nbsp;reached out to Musk at a time when Musk was feuding with President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;and even polled his X followers to see if a third party that represents those who identify in the middle politically should be launched. Over 5.6 million people voted in the&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930685402631053403" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">poll,</a><a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930685402631053403" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;</a>with 80.4% saying yes, although not all the votes were likely from eligible American voters.
What's Next: Musk's previous poll suggests that voters could be ready for another option outside of the Republican and Democratic parties.
It's unclear how far Musk would go with the potential America Party, and if it would be just for Senate and Congressional races in the next elections, or go all the way to the presidency with the billionaire taking on the two major parties that have won every presidential election since 1852.
The last time a president not from the Democratic or Republican Party was in office was 1853 with Millard Fillmore finishing out the rest of his term under the Whig Party. Fillmore replaced Zachary Taylor after his death. Fillmore failed to win the Whig Party nomination for the 1852 election and the party later broke up in 1854.
Taylor won the 1848 presidential election for the Whig Party and is the last presidential winner outside of today's two major political parties.
Since America's independence from Great Britain, the president has come from only five major political parties: Democrat, Republican, Whig, Democratic-Republican and Federalist.
During the first 100 years of America, multiple parties won and parties changed names and new parties were created. Through the lifetime of anyone reading this story, the Democratic and Republican parties have been the only two to win presidencies and many of the major races throughout the country.
Taking a look at past presidential elections, it has been some time since a third-party candidate posed a major challenge. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was viewed as a potential contender to gain a significant percent of the vote in the 2024 election, eventually dropped out and supported Trump.
George Wallace was the last third-party candidate to receive any electoral college votes, winning five states in the 1968 presidential election.
Ross Perot is the most notable third-party candidate in recent years, placing third in 1992 and 1996 with 18.9% and 8.4% of the vote, respectively. John Anderson also secured a third-place finish with 6.6% of the vote in the 1980 presidential election.
The last third-party candidate to place second in a presidential election was Theodore Roosevelt in 1912. Roosevelt ran as a Progressive and lost to Woodrow Wilson. Roosevelt had previously served as president from 1901 to 1909.
While it remains to be seen if Musk will create a new party, betting odds are rising in support of the billionaire's move.
Polymarket betting <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/will-elon-musk-create-a-new-political-party-by?tid=1751399530721">odds </a>for Musk to create a new political party by Dec. 31 stand at 43%.
On <a href="https://kalshi.com/markets/kxnewpartymusk/musk-new-party#kxnewpartymusk">Kalshi</a>, the odds for Musk creating a new political party this year (2025) stand at 47%, up from just 5% on June 30.
<iframe loading="lazy" src="https://kalshi.com/external-widgets/events/KXNEWPARTYMUSK/markets/KXNEWPARTYMUSK-26?color_scheme=light&#038;widget_size=medium&#038;variant=a" width="488px" height="242px" style="border:0"></iframe>
Times have changed since 1853, but Elon Musk's ownership of X and his massive following could ignite a third-party movement — especially with the billions he could pour into an election. Whether he's serious, and whether he can reshape political history for the first time in more than 170 years, remains to be seen.
