Subject:wheel bearings

hi all,

is it correct to assume or is there a reason to think that the Front
wheel bearings and Rear wheel bearings wear at the same rate? meaning that
do we have to replace front and rear at the same time?

the mechanic replaced the front bearings ('89 tintop Syncro) not long ago
and he said that the rear wheel bearings are fine so he left them alone...
should I have the rear replaced too (cost to replace the rear is higher
than the front)

thanks a lot
