What is the three legged stool?
The Three-Legged Stool refers to the traditional retirement income model which was composed of a Social Security check, a company pension, and your personal savings. When Social Security started, there were 42 people for every one retired. Last year it was less than three to one. Pensions are becoming a thing of the past, which leaves personal savings. With this traditional model all but gone, a new retirement strategy focused on personal responsibility is needed. It’s important to learn the right balance between what you spend now and what you save for later. Working with your financial professional is the best way to prepare for the future and for how you’ll live life on your terms.
