   He opened an email from AARP. It said, "Enter for a chance to collect $50,000 for retirement 1!" That sounds easy, he thought. Of course, the "chance" was probably one in ten million. But that's better than nothing, he thought. He clicked 2 on the link. He clicked on, "I have read the official rules." He clicked on Get Started. The new link asked for his email address. It asked for a password. It asked for his name. It asked for his address. It asked for other information. He filled in all the blanks. His wife walked into the room. "What are you doing?" she asked. He said, "I'm entering a contest for $50,000." She said, "Why waste your time? Spend your time networking with others. Spend your time writing a book. Spend your time inventing something. You'll have a better chance of making $50,000, and you'll be prouder of doing so."
