Don't Gamble on Your Retirement Wishing for a Lottery Win




Get real!

A recent study reported in Vancouver Sun in an article called Don't Gamble on Your Retirement found that one-third of Canadian female Baby Boomers are hoping for a lottery win to fund their retirement.

Now I could be wrong, but my guess is most of them don't even buy lottery tickets.

In the same vein, I could say that my retirement plan is to run away from it all, just like I tried to do when I was a kid, to no avail.

Both retirement plans, of course, have little chance of success.

Check out gambling quotes and Winning the Lottery - the Retirement Plan with the Most Bugs to Be Worked Out on my websites.

Here are some money quotes, retirement quotes, and gambling quotes to put the topic in proper perspective:
