The Most Important Social Security Table You'll Ever See
In an ideal world, you'll reach retirement with a decent chunk of money saved up. In reality, though, you may not have as much savings as you'd like, making you more reliant on Social Security to cover your senior living costs.
Social Security pays the average recipient $1,907 a month today. But your monthly benefit may end up looking different. That's because that benefit will hinge on your personal wage history -- specifically, the amount of money you made during your 35 most profitable years in the labor force.
