10% please.

That is about $55,000 a year.

Not really enough for two people to live on in luxury, if you have no other income. But also, more money that a man worth 50-60 million should get. And he donated $15,000 to charity in recent years.

Puts my sister 750 a month check to shame.

I wonder if his presidential salary is being paid to his S corp?

[Sequoyah101]

Well, with $60K a year you can maybe buy what? groceries?

Social Security just celebrated its 87th birthday.

It's not that much older than Biden.

That payment has got to be mostly Jill’s. Shouldn’t his Senator pension (and future President’s, if he lives that long) disqualify him from receiving Social Security payments? He’s too old to even have to be on FERS.

[TexasFreeper2009]

um... so? I’ll collect more than that! what is the point?

[I want the USA back]

Can we ask how he will benefit financially from his term in office? Will he have 3 mansions like obama?

Where did obama's fortune come from? Who really pays the "book royalties"?

So, “Dr Jill” didn’t get hit by the windfall provision?
I thought she was a teacher.

On a joint basis this doesn’t sound all that impressive. At 62 my wife and I are almost eligible for $4k a month combined.

His wife probably maxed the payments. Joe’s government money doesn’t get SS, but he’s a billion years old…so all of his other income probably maxed out most years.

Their combined SS is above average, but not “shocking.”

[pnz1]

Wow.. that won’t pay the mortgage on his beach house..

[napscoordinator]

He probably didn’t collect until 70. Also he’s given max for many decades. Are you saying he shouldn’t get that. Trump probably gets close to that too. Plus a fat pension.

[semimojo]

A Gallup poll reports that 89 percent of surveyed retirees count on Social Security as a “major” or “minor” source of income. That means only one in 10 Americans aren’t reliant on Social Security income to get by during retirement.

Is that really what it means?

Are you reliant on a minor source of income?

And the only reason it isn’t 100% is 10% of the retirees surveyed must be too young.

According to President Biden’s tax return for last year, the first couple received a whopping $4,555 a month in Social Security benefits alone which put them well above what the average retired American brings home each month.

I just received my Social Security Statement and I'll get a little less than that. I've been a high income earner for many years.

So, "so what?"

I can't stand Dementia Joe and think he's a damn' crook. Still, if that's what SS says he gets, that's what he gets.

As for the rest of us who worked hard, played by the rules, paid our taxes and did what we were supposed to do, what's with the jealousy? Sheesh. We worked for it. It's ours and if I had my way, I'd make the damn' crooks at the FedGov cut me one big ass check and pay me out up front instead of the dribs and drabs they do, hoping I'll die before I get my money back.
