Why is it rare for people to retire young from inheritance after their parents pass away?

316 views

Not retiring young in the sense of just quitting their jobs, but if someone has been saving for their own retirement already, then their parents pass away, shouldn’t it be pretty common for a lot of that inheritance to pass down to them? But it seems like most people still struggle to save enough to retire even if their parents have passed on.

What is the reason most people don’t retire at 55 or 60 assuming their parents have passed on by then? Do people not usually save enough for interest to cover a lot of the spending?

The retired parents also get social security each month to supplement their retirement income, and they pay less for Medicare health insurance. Without those benefits, it’s harder to live on just the amount of the retirement money.
