Lottery Mindset

Why are we so attracted to the idea of a shortcut, a hack, or a hot tip?

The human brain defaults to preserving bandwidth, so anytime it can avoid pain or seek pleasure...it will. Doing hard things requires us to disagree with our hardwiring and burn mental calories to solve, create, and connect.

Going the extra mile and having a good work ethic isn’t natural. Money generally follows smart effort.

5.6 Billion was spent on Lotto tickets last year and the state pocketed 1.4 Billion. It seems like a tax for people who want a quick fix to their financial situation.

Ever notice what happens to the short cutters who win big?

Pro Tip: Don’t search for the “hack”...it’s mostly fools gold.
