There is a Spanish expression I love La sangre no va a llegar al rio Literally "The blood is not going to arrive at the river." But what it really means is that the super-pessimistic scenarios are not likely to materialize. IMO Lots of problems, terrorism will not go away and even a real estate crash is possible. But somehow civilization will limp along-life as we now it will continue with changes of course. There will also be some unexpected positive surprises. I am not worried about my retirement accounts-just their value.

Claude: Can Canadians opt out of a RRSP? In the US, an IRA can be liquidated - with a 10% penalty plus full taxes - but you can exit at will. I don't think US 401k plans can be exited without leaving the employer.
