1. In this question we want to evaluate the effect of Social Security income on retirement savings of Americans. The average American earns around $1.5 million during their working life. Of this, they are allowed to save 17.5% tax free in a 401(K) account, and consume the remainder in their working years. 401(K) account earn an average 9% interest per year.

Social security provides a fixed amount of retirement income to all Americans no matter their private savings.
