👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! Summer is the perfect time to get outside and exercise, whether it’s a casual game with friends or a recreational sports league. A mobility coach and a few of her colleagues share their tips for how to enjoy these activities injury-free.
Here’s what else you might have missed during your busy day:
5 things
1️⃣ Easy income: Homeowners are cashing in by renting out parts of their home on a short-term basis — often by the hour. For those lucky enough to have them, pools, backyards, living rooms or driveways can offer quick money.
2️⃣ Cancer screening: In a promising step, the Food and Drug Administration approved a blood test for colorectal cancer among adults 45 and older who are at average risk for the disease. It’s the second most common cause of cancer deaths in the US.
3️⃣ Fading hope: The American dream of owning a home feels out of reach for many families. The overwhelming majority of renters say they would like to buy a house but can’t afford it — and more than half fear they’ll never be able to buy one.
4️⃣ ‘Monopoly money’: People who love to travel are making it a priority even when times are tight, with 25% of Americans saying it’s worth going into debt for a good vacation. They’re taking the approach of seeing the world now and figuring out how to pay for it later.
5️⃣ Signs of life: Four years ago, the discovery of phosphine gas in the clouds around Venus sparked controversy. Now the same team behind that finding has come back with even stronger observations.
