Whoever published that info was making an error on their average numbers, which makes me feel better, cuz I get a lot less than that!!! haha The correct info should be that the $4500 is the max that can be drawn. See below:
What is the maximum Social Security retirement benefit payable?
(En espaņol) The maximum benefit depends on the age you retire. For example, if you retire at full retirement age in 2023, your maximum benefit would be $3,627. However, if you retire at age 62 in 2023, your maximum benefit would be $2,572. If you retire at age 70 in 2023, your maximum benefit would be $4,555.
