Baby Boomers to inherit trillions over the coming decadePosted by RJ and Makay on Dec 27, 2010 |
A lot
of Baby Boomers are worried about how they're going to get enough money to retire. But, for two-thirds, help is on the way in the form of an inheritance, suggests the "MetLife Study of Inheritance and Wealth Transfer to Baby Boomers."
The study's main findings: The Baby Boom generation will inherit $8.4 trillion over the next 10 years (just as they begin retiring en masse). And, the flow of assets from previous generations has already begun -- Boomers have inherited $2.4 trillion so far.
