According to AARP (initials which originally stood for the American Association of Retired Persons), 10,000 Baby Boomers reach retirement age each day. What’s more, this trend is expected to continue into the 2030s. This means that over the next 22+ years, nearly seven Boomers will turn 65 years old every minute. As the elderly population grows and a new crop of young-adults struggle to gain financial footing, people who are ‘sandwiched’ between their aging parents and adult children join the ranks of, “the sandwich generation.” Emotionally, physically and financially providing care for their own children and parents simultaneously, this generation accounts for 47 percent of adults in their 40’s and 50’s.
