This is my first post. Trying to see the odds for getting SS.
2 kids (age 5&7)
Spouse income: $150K
My income: $100K
Together 12 years
Any chance or cases for SS that may assist? Or know if there is background evidence of not taking a new/different job with more stress/demands to ensure I was around for assisting children more as spouse climbed the corporate ladder/traveled for work.
SSAG shows 0/0/high end range number (say $500)
Read that sometimes they just take the mid range but in my case that would be $0. Does anyone ever get some/part of the high end range?
I searched/found some threads where it was deemed this salary range is self sufficient so may not apply but I know there are always exceptions to the rules. Trying to see if there is anything I can do to ensure in the end our take home is more 50/50 which would allow in my budget numbers for some of those extras for the kids (based on current expenses) like a vacation or some nice presents/birthday party. And yes, I know I make good money however the costs for housing/bills I have calculated are not leaving me a lot of wiggle room if I hope to stay in my area with the mortgage/bills, etc.
