Episode 248: The Sandwich Generation

We all love sandwiches—especially co-host Cameron—but have you heard of the Sandwich Generation? Many Gen Xers find themselves squeezed between caring for aging parents while also raising their own children. In this episode, we’re tackling how those in the middle can protect their retirement without getting toasted. First, we have some fun with iconic sandwiches in pop culture (because let’s be honest, we all want to crack the Krabby Patty’s secret formula). Then, we spread the knowledge on why prioritizing your own financial well-being is key, the importance of keeping communication open-faced, and why asking for help isn’t something to relish—it’s essential. Balancing financial responsibilities across generations isn’t always a picnic, but with the right planning, you can wrap up a more secure future.
