How Much Will I Get from Social Security If I Make $100,000 -- or Some Other Income?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are more than a few careers with average salaries of $100,000 or more. They include financial analysts, electrical engineers, veterinarians, nurse practitioners, and astronomers. An income of $100,000 is well above the national average of $51,960 across all occupations that the government tracks, but it's not necessarily enough to ensure financial security for the rest of your life.
Thus, all of us, no matter what we earn, should get busy planning for our retirement, figuring out how much money we will need and how we'll get it. A key part of the puzzle is Social Security income, which provides about a third of all retirement income for elderly Americans. Here's a look at how you can learn what your Social Security benefits are likely to be -- whether you earn $100,000, less, or more.
