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, you won't believe how many dogs get stolen every year. Then people are often told they're too sensitive, as if it's an insult.
Jenn Granneman 1:46
Sensitive people, I think they get a bad rap. Some signs that you're a sensitive person are you feel strong emotions. They might cry more easily, but they might laugh more easily too. Sensitive people are some of the most resilient people that I've met.

Also something to be aware of if you still use paper checks and the fascinating history of recorded sound, including how disc-shaped records, 78s LPs and 45s, changed everything.
Jonathan Scott 2:15
A disc-shaped record, they could make lots of copies from a single recording. Whereas these first cylindrical records that were taking off, every recording was an original. To sell another copy, they had to record it again. 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.
Mike Carruthers 3:22
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.

Hi, welcome to something you should know. Uh I want to start today with a statistic that that surprised me, and I think it'll surprise you. That two million dogs are stolen every year, and that dog theft and pet theft in general, cats and dogs, is on the rise. And you might ask yourself, well, why is that? Well, dogs and puppies are most often stolen for resale, but sometimes they're held for ransom. As you know, people really cherish their pets. Today more than ever, and many of them will pay top dollar to get their dog back. If you do own a dog, keep your eye on your dog, even if it's not a purebred, and even if it's in a secure yard. It's a bad idea to take your dog along on errands with you if you'll be leaving the dog in the car or but tying him up outside the shop while you're inside, even for a minute.
