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 you didn't know about how people drown and how to save them. Then your right to privacy, you expect it. But privacy is a pretty new concept.
So if you look back at say the 17th century, when people do start to talk about privacy, it's almost as if it's a threat. Preachers talk about only adulterers and murderers need privacy. That you should do nothing in private that you wouldn't do in public.
Also the best way to break the ice to start a romance. And simple strategies to control your time, something a lot of us struggle with.
I think the main thing I'm hearing from people is that they're overwhelmed, they never feel done with their to-do list, and they just keep adding more things to their to-do list. So there's never this happy and done feeling.
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.
I just think this is so important. And by my telling you this, it could actually save someone's life. Which is why we're going to start with this. Hi, and welcome to this episode of Something You Should Know. So here's the question. If you saw someone drowning, Would you know it? There's a really good chance you wouldn't. In the movies, you you always see the drowning person flailing around and kicking and screaming, help, help, help. That's not how people drown. Drowning is typically done very quietly. People often don't even seem in distress, and they may even remain upright in the water. In a study of drowning cases, ninety percent of children who drowned did so under the care of a grown-up.
