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, why it's so hard to look someone in the eye when you're trying to come up with an answer to a question. Then, understanding innovation and the innovators who create it.
The conceptual innovator is like the little kid who's always got his hand up and he's waving, I know, I know, I know. Conceptual innovators are very, very self-confident. Steve Jobs, he used this hyperbolic language, right? We're going to make a dent in the universe.
Also, why do they use your address to determine how much your car insurance costs? And an important discussion about anger and help for those who struggle with it.
I think what's happening actually is that we've been given lots of ways to express our anger, but very few ways to resolve it in a good way. Part of the problem is that we conflate anger with aggression and violence. So we get lots of bad anger. We just don't get much of what I call good anger.
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.
When you're trying to answer a difficult question, where you look, where you focus your gaze may have a lot to do with how good your answer is. How can that be? Well, let's find out. Hi, and welcome to this episode of Something You Should Know. When someone asks you a difficult question, it's sometimes hard to keep eye contact with them. And there's a reason for that. Not looking at someone can help you come up with a better answer. This is called gaze aversion, and adults do it 85% of the time. Children only do it about 40% of the time. So, in a study, a group of children were trained to look away when contemplating a question, while others were not told to do anything.
