Hard to say in which direction the causation lies.

That’s actually a good point: People who die earlier due to genetics accumulate less wealth in their lifetime, and their children therefore inherit less. With that causality, people are poorer literally because they die earlier, rather than the other way around. ;)
Isn't it the reverse for the vast majorit that live to see retirement?
