What is the opening premise of the episode and why does it matter?
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, why lying, even a little bit, can be bad for your health. Then what's the secret of long-term love? Well, there are a couple of them, but here's one.
When we know that our partner, even though they know all of our shortcomings, still wants to be there and care about us, going through life with somebody who makes you feel that way is gold. It really is the essence of the feeling of a long-term relationship.
Also, a myth about mushrooms you probably believe and the odd ways humans think. Like we tend to be overconfident, we often misuse our intuition, and we have something called implicit egotism.
Implicit egotism is the tendency to like what we associate with ourselves. We tend to like letters that happen to be in our names. There are an excess number of Phils in Philadelphia, of Virginias in Virginia. 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 vintage. 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. Thanks for spending part of your day with something you should know. I'm sure you like to think of yourself as an honest person, and there's some real wisdom in that, because being dishonest can make you sick. Researchers at the University of Notre Dame determined that telling even white lies could bring on a cold or the flu. That's because concocting a lie and then having to cover your tracks can be hard work and it's stressful to your system. That lowers your immunity and leaves you prone to whatever's going around. In the study, students were split into two groups, one promised to Tell the whole truth for 10 weeks. That group had significantly fewer health issues than white liars.
