SOCIAL SECURITY  Remember, not only did you contibute to social secuity but your Employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only 30,000 dollars over your working life, that is close to $220,500 If you calculate the future value $4500 per year(yours and your employer's contribution) at a simple 5%(less than what the government pays on the money it borrows),after 49 years of working you's have $892,919.98. If you took out only 3% a year ,you'd  receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until your 95 if you retire at 65) and that with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit. If your bought an annuity and it paid 4% a year, you would have a lifetime income $2,976.40 Per month.
