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 interesting legal story of the song Happy Birthday to You. Then we explore the science of happiness. Happiness, it seems, has three
ingredients. It's enjoyment and satisfaction and meaning. We want to have a sense of enjoyment of our lives. We want to take satisfaction in our activities and accomplishments. And we want to know the why of our existence. That's the journey and an adventure of a lifetime.
Also, why do people crack their knuckles? And is it harmful to do it? And a leading expert with some advice for every dog owner.
If every single person in the world learnt that if their dog turns their head away from them or gets up and walks away, that you do not follow, we would dramatically reduce our dog bite incidents across the world.
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. You know, for being
such a simple song, Happy Birthday to You sure has a complicated story. Hi and welcome to this episode of Something You Should Know. Happy Birthday to You was originally composed in 1893 as Good Morning to All by Patti Smith-Hill, a kindergarten teacher and principal in Louisville, Kentucky, and her older sister, Mildred. She was a pianist and composer. After the song cropped up in the 1931 Broadway musical The Bandwagon, the family took legal action. In 1934 and 1935, a publishing company published and copyrighted all six versions of Happy Birthday to You, crediting Mildred and Patty as the authors. And since then, the song has been through many legal battles over who owns it. At one point, the song ended up being owned by the Warner Music Group and was taking in about $2 million a year in royalties.
