I think when all is tallied up, once you consider medical expenses, and any debts being paid, that the actual percentage is likely higher.

Sounds like perfect planning!

You can't take it with you and heirs are usually feckless and indolent.

There is a story when St. Alphonsus de Liguori was about to die, he told his assistant
to go and sell all his possessions and give the money to the poor. The brother did
so, but before he made the donation, he came back to the dying priest and told him
that he had sold all his belongings, and the total proceeds was $4.38.

St. Alphonsus was made a Doctor of the Church.

If they had any what would they do with it. They can't take it with them.
