Recent results on mass distributions for white dwarfs and planetary nebulae are presented and compared with current theoretical predictions. Whereas single star evolution leads to final masses predominantely in a narrow interval around 0.6μ0 which can be explained by current mass loss schemes degenerate stars in binaries present a larger range of masses. The average mass of the primaries in cataclysmic binaries seems to be more around 0.7 than 1μ0.
