Are you a member of the sandwich generation?

The term ‘Sandwich Generation’ typically defines people between the ages of 45 and 60 who are caring for both elderly parents and children.

Research conducted by Aviva in 2014 has shown that most people are aware of becoming ‘sandwiched’ but don’t plan for things like:

·      Reducing their working hours (and income) to care for an elderly parent.

·      Helping an elderly parent/child with rent/mortgage payments

·      Helping out children that rely on the ‘bank on mum and dad’ whilst in further education.
