Is It Time America Goes On A ‘Digital Detox’

There’s been a lot of focus lately on how much ‘screen time’ children have and how technology is negatively impacting them. But scrolling on a cell phone all day is also terrible for adults. This is why many are making the case that both adults and children do a ‘digital detox’ in 2026. Clinical psychologist and family therapist Dr. Sheryl Ziegler explains how damaging cell phones and social media have been for people of all ages, and offers tips on unplugging and improving mental health by avoiding the traps of modern tech.

Extra: Inflation, The Fed, And America's "Wealth Paradox"

The past year has been a rough one for many Americans as the Trump administration works on what it says is a recovery from the Biden-era policies that drove up the cost of living. And while there has been improvement, especially compared to the peak inflation of 2022, a struggle continues. Recently, we spoke with Carol Roth, a former investment banker, entrepreneur, and author of the book "You Will Own Nothing, about what she calls the “wealth paradox.” Roth discussed what's driving inflation and why consumer spending remains strong despite higher prices. She also offered tips on how to get more out of your money and how to avoid unnecessary costs.

Business Rundown: Tips On How To Find Your Dream Job In 2026

There is a lot of discussion about "affordability," especially regarding young Americans' ability to buy their first home and achieve financial stability. A key step in achieving that American dream is getting a good job, but the problem is that getting that job has become harder, especially for Gen Z. Economic growth is being driven by productivity and investment in artificial intelligence, rather than by hiring. This is creating what some call a "jobless boom" in some industries. Translation: the job market is very competitive. Suzy Welch, a Professor of Management Practice at NYU’s Stern School of Business, and author of the book Becoming You, joins FOX Business' Lydia Hu to discuss the state of the job market and how to navigate it.
