there is one word i think gets people in trouble with money probably i'm probably spending about this much every month i'm probably saving enough i'm probably on track for retirement probably is not a financial plan. I've been using Monarch. It's a personal finance app that puts your whole financial picture in one place, and it replaces probably with actual numbers. For example, Monarch showed me that our spending last month jumped about 30% from the month before. 30%. We had some home repairs, but none of the bills seemed like a big hit at the time. But put them all together, and wow. But I didn't realize how much our spending had jumped until Monarch showed me. And I think that's how money can get away from you.
It's not necessarily one giant expense that sets off alarm bells. It's all the things that add up that you don't really notice. That's what I like about Monarch. You can see your spending, accounts, investments, and savings goals all in one place and see what's really going on with your money. If you're operating on probably, maybe it's time to find out. Write your own money story with Monarch. Use code SYSK at Monarch.com to get your first year of Monarch Core half off at just $50. That's 50% off your first year at Monarch.com with code SYSK. Today on Something You Should Know, the powerful effects from a simple cup of tea. Then, the growing use of AI in almost everything has many people scared of the consequences.
I think we're
scared of the wrong things. When it comes to AI, I'm worried about stuff that can happen right now, the use of AI in warfare, the use of AI for surveillance, the use of AI to manipulate people.
Also, something interesting women can do with their voice that men simply cannot. And noise. We all know unwanted noise can be irritating and aggravating,
but... There's a bigger systemic issue out there that from offices to hospitals, schools, restaurants, our world is increasingly noisy and it's causing harms to our health, well-being, and to the planet. All this today on
Something You Should Know. A big thank you to today's sponsor, Vinted. I think most of us have what I call someday clothes. I'll wear that someday. That'll fit better someday. Someday I'll have a place to wear that. Meanwhile, it's been hanging in the closet for three years. Vinted offers another possibility. Sell it. Every day people can sell clothes they're no longer wearing and make some extra money. And they've made the process pretty painless. Take what you don't wear, list it on Vinted. Listing is quick and simple. And when an item sells, Vinted creates the prepaid shipping label for you. And importantly, there are no seller fees on Vinted. So when you sell something, you keep everything you earn. I like this whole idea because instead of clothes just taking up space, somebody else gets to wear them and you get some money out of the deal.
Your closet looks better, too. I mean, everybody wins, even the closet. So maybe it's time to stop waiting for someday. Download the Vinted app for free and start listing with no seller fees so you keep everything you earn. Something
you
should know.
Fascinating intel. The world's top experts. And practical advice you can use in your life. Today, Something You Should Know with Mike Carruthers.
I don't know if you knew this or not, but tea drinkers tend to be happier people. Well, why would that be? Let's find out. Hi, and welcome to this episode of Something You Should Know. So, tea drinkers are happy people, but does that mean tea makes people happy, or is it that happy people tend to like tea? Research out of China seems to indicate that tea makes people happy, or at least protects them from depression. In 11 studies of over 22,000 people, the results reveal that regular tea drinking predicts a 31% decrease in depression risk. And the more tea people drink, the less their risk of depression. It also seems to be true for both regular and green tea drinkers. The researchers' conclusion is that consumption of tea may act as an independent protective factor for depression.
