Do you spend hours on end dreaming about finally quitting your job and owning your time?

Do you spend a considerable amount of your money on the lottery in the hopes of striking it rich and never needing to work again?

Do you keep falling for the next get-rich-quick scheme that promises you incredible wealth in months, only to be disappointed again?

Instead of pinning your hopes and throwing your money on a plan with extremely low odds -- the result of which is totally out of your control -- why don't you do something that can actually lead to reaching your goal of retirement?
