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, what's crawling around in the dirt in your backyard, then a lot of great advice for the next time you have to speak to a large group or a small party or anywhere.
Think to yourself right before you speak. I have value to bring. These folks are going to benefit because. And whatever you say after that because. And then see how you feel. Most people feel better. Most people approach their audience rather than retreat.
Also why human feet are getting noticeably bigger quickly. And the interesting people and fascinating stories in the history of breakfast cereal.
In COVID, there was a run on grape nuts, and that created a robust black market for grape nuts. And people went onto sites to buy black market green nuts. And some people paid up to $100 for a box of grape nuts.
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 there and welcome to something you should know. So imagine this. Imagine if you were to go into your backyard and pick up just a pinch of dirt, like a half a teaspoon. If you did that, you would be holding over a billion living organisms, perhaps 10,000 different species of life in that little pinch of dirt. Now this is about twice as many organisms as scientists thought just you know twenty, thirty years ago. In fact, it's now believed that more than half of all Earth life is going on underground. And not all life underground is friendly. Tetanus, for example. Tetanus spores are in soil, everywhere, even in your backyard. Luckily, most of us have been vaccinated against it, so tetanus is not a big problem here, but in developing countries it is still a big health issue and people get it from contact with dirt.
