Social Security payments received upon retirement depend almost entirely on the amount of money that has been paid into the system in the working years before that time. How much work is done and what income is earned are the main factors. Also important are the legal guidelines of the Social Security system itself at the time of one's retirement.

How much money can I make while collecting Social Security?

The amount of money you can make while collecting Social Security depends on your age and whether you have reached full retirement age. If you are under full retirement age, there is a limit to how much you can earn before your Social Security benefits are reduced.

What does the money form social security taxes fund?

Social security is basically when the government takes a certain percentage of money from the working generation and gives it to the retired generation. When the working generation become retired, they receive social security. Social security started after the Great Depression, when the government needed to make sure that people had money stored away to live after they stopped working. People get certain amounts of social security depending on how much they and their spouses worked as young people, as well as what jobs and how much they gave to social security. The current problem with social security is that the baby boomers are now becoming retired, and there are more of them than the current generation of working people. There is not enough money to support these retiring people, and unless the government subsidies social security or takes other measures, it is likely to fall apart before people currently in their 30s and 40s become retired. So basically, the idea of how social security works is that you put away money and you will get that money when you retire.
