INCOME

Money an individual or business receives in turn for rendering a good or service, or via investing capital. Individuals or businesses consume income to sustain daily expenditures. Most individuals aged 65 and below receive most of their income from a salary or wages earned from a job. For retirees, they generate income through investments, Social Security, and pensions. In business, it can pertain to a firm’s remaining revenues after paying all costs and taxes. Most types of income are taxable.
