3 Steps to Claiming the $3895 Max Monthly Social Security Benefit
Social Security is often criticized for failing seniors in retirement. The reality is that many seniors wind up disappointed in their benefits because they expect too much out of Social Security in the first place. Those benefits are only designed to replace about 40% of the average earner's pre-retirement wages, and most seniors need a lot more money than that to live comfortably.
That said, the right strategy on your part could make it so that Social Security winds up paying you a much more generous benefit than it pays the typical recipient. In fact, beneficiaries today have the potential to score as much as $3,895 a month in Social Security income.
