Memes are thoughts and ideas that are spread through mass consciousness. And thoughts can turn into things.
Memes sound pretty modern, pretty techy. But, memes are nothing new. Since we discovered how to communicate with each other, we learned to spread opinions and ideas.
One consistent meme in mankind that life is hard. Another meme is that making and saving money is difficult.
I noticed that there are people who are spreading other memes. Life and wealth can be “hacked.” You can enter these old paradigms and shake things up a bit. I’d like to pass on some of the best examples of the life-and-wealth-is-easy meme in this edition of Weekly Wisdom.

We’re just scratching the surface.

I was watching a community work crew put up a bridge across a creek many years ago. I asked the guy in charge how the puny boards could hold the weight of the men out on the middle of the river.
He said, “It’s not the wood, or ropes, or posts that keeps the bridge up, it’s the design.” In other words, that pile of wood could not do anything without a solid idea behind it.
How profound. Sometimes we see the effects of our behaviors and pronounce them the cause, or the design. If I asked a hundred traders why they trade, they’d probably say because of the returns. But, underneath, there is a simple design. People may actually trade because they want excitement. Or they want security. Or they want to show off in front of a possible date.
The inability to find this know yourself is just one way you can complicate your trading. And that causes problems. If you want to build a better bridge to solid returns, here are fifteen ways to better understand yourself and to simplify your trading.

is one of my favorite financial books of all time. It's an allegory about a guy who has a terrible job, and how he overcomes challenges to achieve his dreams.
