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 good ideas often come in the shower. Then just how important is it to have love and connection in your life?
Probably more important than you think.
We are really recategorising love now. It's not an emotion. It's far too complex to be an emotion. It's a need. It's a need as fundamental to your survival as water, food, shelter. And it should sit at that level. It's absolutely fundamental.
Also, if you throw a lot of produce away because it goes bad before someone eats it, you need to hear something. And a mortician explains some of the fascinating things that go on when people die.
For example, people ask me all the time, can I keep my dad's skull after he dies? It's probably one of the top questions that I'm asked. And not really. That's gonna be pretty complicated.
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 vintage 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.
Hey there, welcome. Well this episode has two interviews that should really grab and hold your attention. One is about love and the other is about death. And both of them I think you'll find interesting. First up today, have you ever had that experience, as I often have, of you need to come up with an idea or solve a problem, and you take a shower and bang, the answer just pops in your head. Well, it turns out it happens to a lot of people. Researchers from Drexel University put showering to the test and found it to be one of the most effective problem solving techniques out there. It seems that in the shower, our attention naturally broadens and our mental barriers tend to fade away.
