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 brain freeze hurts so bad and how to stop it fast. Then, quick psychological strategies that can help you achieve a goal, be more likable, and get over a bad
breakup. One of the simplest rituals to get over somebody, if you've had a negative relationship, is actually to write a little bit about them, put it into an envelope, and then very carefully, outside probably, set fire to that. That ritual allows people to get over the
relationships quicker. Also, are you sure your car hasn't been recalled? Let's find out. And understanding your imagination. It's important because you spend a lot of time there.
If you sample people's experience from moment to moment, it turns out that we spend between a quarter and a half of our time daydreaming, mind wandering. And the most common mental content is not in fact awareness of our immediate surroundings. It's mental imagery.
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.
With summertime comes ice cream and frozen margaritas and all the other things that can give you brain freeze. Hi, and welcome to this episode of Something You Should Know. What is brain freeze? Well, the best theory seems to be that it is a protective mechanism. The cold triggers extra blood flow to the brain, which increases pressure. and that causes the headache. Specifically, it is the increase in blood flow to the brain's anterior cerebral artery. When scientists induced brain freeze in volunteers and then looked at it with ultrasound, they found that the pain disappeared when the artery constricted.
