there is one word i think gets people in trouble with money 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% off your first year at Monarch.com with code SYSK. Today on Something You Should Know, sure, exercise is good for you, but specifically how? I'll explain that. Then, worry. Why do we often worry way too
much? One of the phrases I hear so often from my clients, it helps if I expect the worst. Well, actually, it probably doesn't, but they have that sense. If I'm not worrying, then I'm treating life too casually. Also,
can you be addicted to music? And do you know which fonts, which typefaces are best for emails or letters? For example, a lot of people use Times New Roman.
Times New Roman would be better if you switched to Georgia. Times was designed for the Times newspaper, for those very, very narrow column widths of the newspaper, so it's quite condensed. And as soon as you're actually spreading it out all the way across a page, it starts to become a little bit harder to read.
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 So we all know that exercise is good for your health. But what does that mean exactly? I mean, good for your health. It's such a vague phrase. It's hardly motivating. So specifically, how is exercise good for your health? Well, according to the Mayo Clinic, here are a couple of very specific reasons to get up and exercise. First of all, teenagers who exercise are more likely to graduate and less likely to develop a brain tumor. Men who exercise vigorously are two-thirds less likely to experience erectile dysfunction as those who don't. Women who exercise tend to have fewer mood swings and better sex lives. Seniors who exercise three times a week are much less likely to develop dementia.
