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.
"I read it, so it must be true"..................nope!!!

In the '90's, SS max'd out in the $50k to $70k range...........it did not good to make over $100,000. Thru 2007, the max was less than $100k.

Don't believe everything you are told, facts are better.
