Social Security is tied to how much you made (up to a point) so low income earners will receive less of it (though they may receive more from other sources in that case). It also tends to be barely enough to scrape by eating days-old bakery outlet bread, cheap canned soup on sale, and living in a crappy poorly-maintained house (or trailer home) in a tiny, poor country town, with no hope of things ever improving, even in the best cases. If you have ties to a community church maybe they'll help you fix your leaking roof, because there's no way its happening otherwise. That's your life on a Social Security (only) retirement.
