The idea of a three-legged stool was coined by an actuary working for the Met in 1949 and has received wisdom from retirement planners, actuaries, and others for decades. And that three-legged stool, which theoretically was to provide the basis for a secure retirement, included social security provided by the government, a guaranteed pension. This was a pension, not a 401k, but a guaranteed defined benefit pension as most employers had in the '60s, explains Pete.
