'Sandwich Generation' Must Plan With Care
Have you heard of the sand
wich generation?" Chances
are. you're a member of it.
or you know someone who is.
The "sandwich generation" is
primarily those people between the
ages of 50 and 65 financially
caught between supporting adult
children living at home or in col
lege. and caring for .iging parents.
If you are part ot this group, the
challenge of meeting the burdens ot
everyday life may overshadow the
planning for your own financial fu
ture.
However, there are steps you can
take to manage these competing re
sponsibilities so you can begin to
manage your money and still plan
for a comfortable retirement
Firsi, vou need to communicate
with your parents or children about
their financial matters, even it it
ma\ he uncomfortable. Why? Bc
eause when a child moves back
home, or a parent needs financial
help, onee-grow ing retirement ac
counts can begin missing their
monthly additions.
Therefore, the sooner you learn
how to incorporate \our children's
and parents' needs into your finan
cial planning, the better.
Also, discussing financial mat
ters with your children will help
them understand personal money
management earh on. This will
help them plan for their own retire
ment at an early age.
