The financial landscape for the sandwich generation is unique and often complex. On one hand, there's the rising cost of higher education, and on the other, there are the expenses associated with caring for elderly parents. This dual financial responsibility requires a strategic approach to ensure that both needs are met without compromising your family’s future or present well-being.

If you ever feel like you’re “sandwiched” between taking care of your children and caring for older parents, you’re part of the “sandwich” generation. While this term can refer to people who are still raising young, school-aged children at home, it also encapsulates adults who have financially dependent (or partially dependent) adult children.
