Can handwriting analysis really reveal a person’s personality or authenticity?
There is one word I think gets people in trouble with money. It's 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. fifty percent off your first year at monarch.com with code SYSK. Today on something you should know, can you really tell anything about a person based on their handwriting? You'd be surprised. Then creating wealth.
Really anyone can do it if you have the right mindset.
The average millionaire, for example, in the United States is self-made. And most of them are employees and professionals. They're not necessarily entrepreneurs. And when you do study the mindset of these self-made, wealthier people, they tend to describe
themselves as frugal. Also, the names for things that you didn't know had names. And the power of suggestion. There's a real science to it that's important to understand.
Many factors influence the way that we accept or reject suggestions, and most interesting thing about suggestion is that they work, whether you believe it or not, whether you detect them or not, they still work because we're all suggestible to some extent.
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.
Hi, welcome. Thank you for spending some time today listening to something you should know. And we start today with something I know you've heard of. Handwriting analysis. It's been used as evidence in court trials and actually help send people to jail. But is it really a science? Well first you have to understand there are two types of handwriting analysis. Forensic handwriting analysis is when an expert testifies that two signatures were made by the same person, or that a signature is a forgery or not, stuff like that. It sounds simple enough, but two Supreme Court cases, one in nineteen ninety three and one in two thousand one have
