[quote=partypup]”I guess that means I should stop contributing to my retirement.

Also, does this apply to my dog as well? Or should I leave a lot of food and water out for him when I make the transition and leave him behind?”

If you are still on the fence about continuing to contribute to your *retirement*, in the face of all that is going on around us, then my guess is that your dog is much more equipped to make the transition than you are.

You may very well be the one who is left behind.[/quote]

I can still contribute without putting it into stocks. As I stopped doing long ago.
