Why you shouldn't count on inheriting money for your retirement

Original: Why you shouldn’t count on inheriting money for your retirement

The Washington Post argues that counting on an inheritance to fund retirement is a risky plan. Most people receive little or nothing: parents may spend down savings, live longer than expected, or leave debts. Financial planners suggest building retirement savings independently and treating any inheritance as a bonus rather than a pillar of a retirement strategy.

Why now: With rising living costs and uncertain retirement savings, readers are anxious about whether family wealth can be relied upon later in life.
