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, a simple way to stop those cravings that are so hard to resist. Then disruptive innovation. It's changing our world faster than ever.
Today, you have autonomous vehicles, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, alternative proteins. Those are just the ones that begin with the letter A. This really is now a pervasive phenomena that is affecting everyone.
Also, why performing under pressure is so difficult and what can make it easier? And all the good things that happen when you spend more time in nature.
We find that people's ability to focus and their attention and their short-term memory all improve after brief walks in nature. We've also seen effects where having lower rates of stroke, diabetes, and heart disease.
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.
If you're determined not to give in to that sweet tooth craving, there is a strategy that's very effective. Hi, and welcome to this episode of Something You Should Know. So you know that that timing when you get a craving and you know you shouldn't eat it, you don't want to eat it, but you can't think about anything else. Well Perhaps a cockroach could help. Findings from the University of Colorado School of Medicine have found that you can kill a craving by just looking at something or even a picture of something that is disgusting, like a cockroach, or vomit, or an open wound. When it comes to food behavior, disgust can be very powerful, according to the research team. They flashed photos of disgusting images for 20 milliseconds, followed by a four-second photo of a commonly advertised high calorie treat, like an ice cream sundae or pizza or french fries.
