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, where do you keep your loose batteries? I hope it's not in your junk drawer. Then a fun look at some of your favorite foods, hamburgers, hot dogs, root beer, and the odd story of chicken fingers.
Human beings have domesticated chickens over ten thousand years ago. But we didn't have chicken fingers or chicken nuggets until the nineteen eighties. And that really is like, why did it take so long? And it actually comes down to food chemistry.
Also, when it comes to getting your groceries home on a hot summer day, time is your enemy. And a look at why and how the internet creates so much outrage and discontent. It turns out that
there's very specific words that tend to go viral online. These are moral and emotional words. Words like shame, disgust, I'm outraged.
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 to something you should know. I would imagine that somewhere in your home is a junk drawer. You may even have more than one junk drawer. And there's a pretty good chance that in that junk drawer are some loose batteries. And that could be a problem. If metal comes in contact with both the positive and negative posts of a battery, it can cause a short circuit that generates enough heat to start a fire. And chances are, in addition to loose batteries, there's a lot of metal in your junk drawer. Paperclips, hardware, coins, keys, tacks, steel, wool, pens, aluminum foil, all these things can pose a threat. Add to that a book or two of the things. Two of matches or maybe an old lighter sitting in that drawer, and now the fire danger multiplies.
