If you are taking care of your kids and your parents, you are a proud (or maybe not proud) member of the sandwich generation, so good luck!
We didn’t grow up thinking it would be this way. We figured we’d have kids and our parents would fend for themselves. At least that is the way it was always presented to us on TV and other forms of the media.
Today, everyday, Sandwich Generationers are being struck with the harsh decisions that face them when their parents start to have serious problems, from dementia to a broken hip. Things get even more complicated when one of the spouses is unable to care for the other or one has passed away.
Are you ready to step in with the time and financial commitment it will take to take care of them?
