A friend recently loaned me “The Total Money Makeover”, by Dave Ramsey (I will save some of the details of the book for another day), and in the book Dave shares a story I have heard several times before… I will use a version I heard that is only slightly different than Dave’s version.

The captors would cut a small hole in one end of a coconut shell, just big enough for the monkeys to fit their open hands into, and then put nuts, a favorite treat of the moneys, into the coconut shell. The captors would tie a rope to the other end of the coconut and hold it or anchor it, and wait for the monkeys to come along. » Read more: Financial Freedom For a Fist Full of Nuts! Can it Be True?
