During your working years, it’s easy to take your income stream for granted. You put in hours each week, and a paycheck is regularly deposited into your bank account, helping you to make the mortgage payment, pay taxes and handle other wants and necessities.But when it comes time to retire, that paycheck disappears.

Reported margins vary depending on the measure used, how the measure is calculated, the data, accounting decisions, and how data are summarized (e.g., averages vs medians).

What most people don’t realize is that the…
