(BPT) - As we age, there comes a point when many enter what's known as the sandwich generation, which is when adults who are caring for their own family also step into the role of supporting their parents. This support manifests in a variety of ways, including caregiving, financial guidance, housing, transportation and even technical support. Being "sandwiched" can be challenging, but there are many ways to navigate this phase. One of the most important things to set them up for success is to help them budget.
"The role reversal experienced by children helping their parents navigate later life can be overwhelming," said Jason Mugg, senior vice president of Business Solutions & Analysis for AARP Services. "One way an AARP membership aims to simplify this process is by making discounts and savings accessible on essential items to support caregivers and their loved ones."
