Roblox operates a virtual platform where users can learn, work, play, and socialize. The platform is built around a community of developers and creators who use Roblox Studio, a user-friendly design tool, to create engaging multiplayer experiences. It primarily targets audiences under the age of 18, making it one of the leading entertainment platforms for this age group, as shown by its high monthly visits and user engagement. Unlike many other platforms, Roblox focuses on user-generated content, allowing millions of new users to join each month, often through recommendations from friends. The company generates revenue through in-platform purchases and subscriptions, creating a thriving ecosystem for both users and creators.

Us Investors Conserving Cash Amid Tariff Troubles

Last week was a rough one for the stock market following the announcement of new tariffs.But as The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported Saturday (April 5), investors are choosing to keep their cash close to home rather than buying shares at lower prices.During the first few days of the month, investors pumped upwards of $60 billion into money market funds, the report said.

The first are planners, who take a strategic and proactive approach, consistently paying off credit card balances, and building up savings for short-term and long-term needs.The other group are the reactors, who deal with monthly bills on the fly and in some cases choosing which bills to pay
