<prompt> Human: Im about 40 now, and I get that Social Security may see some changes, but assuming it doesnt. The number I see is about 13rd of my present income, which is very nice in my opinion. Would that amount keep up with inflation? It says the assumption is I keep making what I make right now, so does that mean my salary have to keep up with inflation in order to get that number to keep up with inflation?  <response>: Yes and be aware that they use the 35 years with the highest salary for their calculations. There is talk of them raising the retirement age for new retires though.
