Description

The road to retirement is not as straightforward as it used to be. There was a time when simple metaphors, like the three-legged stool of retirement, captured how you could achieve retirement security with ease. This concept illustrated how securing a good pension, obtaining a solid return on your savings, and relying on social security might have paved the way for financial comfort in your golden years.  Relying on just one leg could lead to failed retirement goals, while relying on two legs requires a delicate balancing act.

 Unfortunately, for many individuals, this seemingly secure approach to retirement planning has all but disappeared. And today, few simple metaphors exist to describe an easy path toward retirement security, leaving many people scrambling to figure out how to plan for their future thoughtfully. Now, with a little extra work and some creativity, you might be able to repurpose the components of the simple three-legged stool framework to suit your individual goals in this complex and challenging economic environment.
