Property values have the potential to rise a lot over time. Just look at the modest $31,000 home Warren Buffett bought in 1958. At this point, it's worth $1.44 million. So that's a pretty sweet gain for Buffett, should he choose to sell.

Beat the market. That's the goal for most investors. However, achieving that goal is often easier said than done. It wasn't difficult for quite a few U.S. senators and representatives last year, though. Over 30 of them managed to beat the market, with some of them raking in gains more than four times greater than the S&P 500. Meet the ultrahigh-yield dividend stock that helped one member of Congress generate a 122% return last year.

If you can maximize the benefit of a program you're required to participate in, though, you may as well do so. To this end, here's a closer look at the kind of money you need to be making if you want to have any shot at earning the maximum Social Security retirement benefit of $4,873 per month.

Leaving the workforce behind has never been so expensive. Recent surveys put the average cost of retirement at somewhere between $1.5 million and $1.8 million. And if today's seniors are any indication, workers should expect a significant chunk of those savings to go toward healthcare costs. About 13% of the typical senior household's spending went to medical expenses in 2022, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and for some, this figure could be a lot higher.
