If a big inheritance is your retirement plan, don't get your hopes up
If you're holding out for an inheritance, we have some bad news.
While billionaires guard fortunes, “Most households will pass on little or no inheritance to the next generation,” says IPS @inequality.org scholar @chuck77.bsky.social.
