Gen Z is navigating a complex financial landscape, balancing early earning and investing with impulsive spending and trend-driven bets.

FIFA has reached an understanding with the US Treasury allowing all 48 teams at the 2026 World Cup to apply for federal tax exemption on their tournament earnings.

The tournament begins June 11, 2026.
