lifetime income

Total working wages

Lifetime income is money received regularly for the rest of one's life, typically from pensions, annuities, or Social Security.

The term appears most often in retirement planning, where the goal is securing income that won't run out: She converted her savings into a lifetime income stream.

The phrase emphasizes durability over amount—steady payments until death rather than a lump sum that might be exhausted.
