‘Sandwich generation’ encompasses a wide range of ages

If you’re caught between raising children and caring for aging parents, chances are you fit into what’s being broadly categorized as the sandwich generation.

It’s not even a “generation,” per se. It’s not a specific age group. It’s not people born in certain years.

But it comes with a lot of responsibility. And that’s where this edition of Senior Smart might come in handy.

There are stories offering a range of advice on how to tackle the basics of caring for an older parent.

  • The will and estate planning process
  • “The talk” (not to be confused with “the talk” you’d have with your teenagers)
  • Retired-ish — how to make a return to the workforce
  • The aforementioned “sandwich generation”

Mainebiz correspondent Sloane Perron talked to financial advisors and other experts about how to facilitate the tough conversations and help you or your parents move forward with planning in the senior years.
