Social security 127,000?

, nice brag.

I have absolutely no clue wtf you're talking about

He's talking about the point at which you don't have SS taken out of your paycheck. The amount of gross income required goes up every year. He just told you he makes $190k a year. His take home goes up 6% for the rest of the year after he hits the threshold.

Or he makes $30k a year in payroll and just figured this out on someone else's check.

I was looking at my stubs the other day wondering when the deduction would stop. I figured something had changed.

It increases every year by about 5-6% I believe.

This information is easily available with a couple of clicks on the internet. Good financial planning would have you know this and not be surprised and make rambling posts like this. They are trying to keep SS solvent so get use to aggressive raising of the income limits far beyond inflation, CPI, or raises in SS benefits. Raising the income limits and raising the retirement age thresholds are two of the main tools they have to keep SS afloat.

Seems like 2 years ago it was 117,000 then 119,000 then it disproportionately jumped to 127,000. That doesn't seem fair. I just assumed it was 120,000 this year. Middle class just gets screwed harder and harder every year. Will I riot? No.
