In order to reach that $3148/month (maximum you can possibly get at full retirement age, from your own earnings) you would need to have worked for more than 30 years at over $100,000 per year. In fact, you'd need to have earned more than $200,000 per year.

But $200,000 per year is more than $100,000 per year, and I said it had to be more than $100,000 per year.

So - yup.
