How hot can everyday objects like car dashboards and patio furniture get in summer?
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, just how hot does your car's dashboard get on a hot sunny day? Then the science of how we learn. For instance, is cramming for an exam better than studying a little over several days?
If you do not care about remembering this content after the exam, you're actually better off cramming. That said, if you want to remember content beyond the test, then cramming is terrible.
Also, when you're angry, is it really good advice to count to 10 to calm down? And how to stop arguing in relationships by asking for what you want up front.
It is a myth that if you loved me, you'd read my mind and you'd give me what I need to feel loved and I wouldn't have to ask you. And I think that in every great relationship, people are really upfront about what their needs are, and it takes courage.
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 to Something You Should Know. This episode is being recorded and published in the middle of summer, and many parts of the world are experiencing heat waves. And when the weather is hot outside, other things heat up as well. Some heat up a lot, and here are a few things that can really burn you in the summer if you're not careful. Blacktop. You know, a parking lot or a street that is black can get as hot as a hundred and forty degrees during extreme temperatures. To put that in perspective, humans begin to feel pain at one hundred and eleven degrees. At one hundred and eighteen degrees you can experience first degree burns. So if blacktop is one hundred and forty degrees, your feet and your pet's feet are.
