In 2022, the most popular source of expected retirement income amongst U.S. workers was either a 401(k), 403(b), or IRAs. The source of retirement income that was least expected amongst respondents was inheritance, with just ** percent of those surveyed offering this as their answer.

This statistic presents the ways of spending money in case of lottery win or inheritance of 100,000 U.S. dollars in the United States in 2017, by age. During the survey period, ** percent of respondents aged 60 and older stated that they would use this money to pay off any existing debt or loans while ** percent in the same age bracket stated that they would invest it toward retirement.

This data collection was designed to study changes in American inheritance patterns over three centuries. Major areas of investigation include equality of treatment among children, legacies to sons versus daughters, estate planning strategies, treatment of spouse in will, women's testamentary power, charitable bequests, bequests to extended kin and non-kin, legacies of chattel, realty, and financial assets, and the naming of executors and guardians.

The statistic shows the results of a survey into wealthy individuals in the United States. This particular statistic deals with the source of the majority of wealth among wealthy Americans in the United States in 2014. In 2014, 22 percent of the wealthy individuals interviewed stated that they had inherited the majority of their wealth, whereas 78 percent stated they earned the majority either through income from work, investment, real estate or through the sale of their business.

The Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) is normally a triennial cross-sectional survey of U.S. families. The survey data include information on families' balance sheets, pensions, income, and demographic characteristics.

In 2024, the revenue from estate and gift tax amounted to 32 billion U.S. dollars. The forecast predicts an increase in estate and gift tax revenue in 2035 to 37 billion U.S. dollars, followed by an increase up to 81 billion U.S. dollars in 2035. In the United States, an estate tax is a tax on the transfer of property at the time of an individual's death. Gift tax is a tax on the transfer of money or property during an individual's life.

For many migratory ungulates, cultural inheritance maintains migration through social transmission of information between individuals, while learning and memory inform movement within individuals. It often is assumed, but rarely tested, that offspring inherit migratory routes by learning from their mothers. Here, we evaluate whether daughters inherit migratory routes from their mothers by following 16 mother-daughter pairs of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) from each daughter’s first migration, through their yearling migration, and into adulthood. Adult routes for two-thirds of daughters overlapped with their mother’s route, suggesting that they inherited migratory routes from their mothers. The adult routes for the remaining daughters, however, bore little or no similarity to their mother’s routes, suggesting that these routes were instead shaped by individual experience or non-maternal social interactions. Regardless of whether routes were inherited or not, the strategy that daughters..., Animal capture and handling: As part of a larger study that began in 2015, adult female mule deer were captured in western Wyoming, USA, via helicopter and fit with GPS collars (VERTEX PLUS, Vectronic Aerospace GmbH, Berlin, Germany, or G2110E2, Advanced Telemetry Systems Inc, Isanti, Minnesota, USA) that collected locations every 1 or 2 hours, depending on the individual and the season (Supplemental Materials Figure S1).28 In March, we assessed whether captured deer were pregnant using ultrasonography and, if they were pregnant, inserted a vaginal implant transmitter (Advanced Telemetry Systems or Vectronic Aerospace GmbH). Upon notification of a birth event, we found the neonates and, after taking a suite of measurements, fit them with either VHF collars that were connected to the mother’s collar (M4230BU, Advanced Telemetry Systems) or GPS collars that collected locations every 2 hours (VERTEX MINI, Vectronic Aerospace GmbH). We received an alert if the neonate and mother were separa..., # Migratory routes are inherited primarily from mother in a terrestrial herbivore

This paper and associated data correspond to an investigation of whether mule deer, an often-migratory herbivore living in western North America, inherit migratory routes from their mothers. Data represent GPS data for mother-daughter pairs, as well as associated contextualizing information (e.g., animal ID, year born). Data and code accompany the paper, "Migratory routes are inherited primarily from mother in a terrestrial herbivore", published in Current Biology in 2025.

Data includes raw GPS data (0_WRMigRoutesClipped.RDS, 0_MomMigsClipped.RDS) and files containing information about the individual animals involved in the study ("AnimalInfo.RDS" and "MomInfo.RDS").
