Despite feeling like a burden, FICA taxes are crucial in funding Social Security and Medicare. While Social Security faces challenges, Medicare will cover 91% of costs by 2028. These programs ensure vital benefits for retirees, older people, and disabled members of our communities. Over your career, you'll contribute approximately $300,000 to Social Security and $150,000 to Medicare—investments that secure future healthcare and retirement support. #FICAtaxes #SocialSecurity #Medicare #RetirementPlanning
