Planning Ahead Helps Your Children Avoid the “Sandwich Generation”

Do you finding yourself trapped in the middle between taking care of your children and caring for your parents who are now to old to live alone? Welcome to the “Sandwich Generation.” Today’s baby boomers find themselves in the “Sandwich Generation” and the stress of taking care of their family is proving to them that planning is key to making sure their children avoid the tug-of-war between taking care of their parents, and caring for their own kids. In an attempt to take the stress off of their kids, Baby Boomers are looking into active adult communities that will provide them with everything they need as they age.
