The Sandwich Generation-
Taking Care of Aging Parents
           Presented by
   Christine Schmitz, CPA, CFP®, LTCP
The Sandwich Generation
We don’t choose to be a member of the
       sandwich generation…



                 It chooses us!
What is the “Sandwich”
             Generation?
The Sandwich generation refers to those
who support children (at any age) and at the
same time support or care for parents.

 Because most of us are responsible adults, we don’t run
away from caring for our parents or children when they are
                         in need.
Support Means Different Things to
        Different People
Children or parents residing with you
Non-residential financial support
Supporting children who are in
   college by paying tuition bills
Assisting children with purchasing a
   home or renting an apartment
Or Support Could Mean…
Assisting with the care of grandchildren so
 your children can work
Assisting aging parents with
    personal care or errands
Assisting aging parents
    financially with living
    expenses
What’s All the Fuss About?
Demographic trends have led to increased
attention to the Generation in recent years:
• Increased life expectancies- more middle
  aged people have living parents
• Birth rates are lower- parents have fewer
  children to share the burden
• Adult children are more likely to live further
  away from parents, complicating the
  situation
By the Numbers
An AARP report found that 44% of 45-55
year olds had both at least one living parent
and one child under the age of 21.
By the Numbers
The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that
1/3 of women could be defined as belonging
to the Sandwich Generation.




Statistics from the Monthly Labor Review 9/2006
By the Numbers
• Financial assistance given on average:
      – $10,000 a year
• Time spent on average:
      – 1,350 hours per year
• They are responsible for $18 billion dollars
  in intra-family transfers.
• They give 2.4 billion hours of time.
Statistics from the Monthly Labor Review 9/2006
So How Can We Prepare for the
          Inevitable?
It may be a tough conversation, but talk to
your parents about their financial
situation. Financial problems can go
undetected for years.
 Be tuned in to their saving/spending habits.
 Familiarize yourself with their insurance
  coverage. Have any of their policies lapsed?
 Help your parents do an insurance policy check-
  up.
What steps have they taken to
 prepare for possible medical care
              needs?
Do they have long-term care insurance?

  – What are their options at this stage?

  – Traditional long term care policies versus
    “hybrid” life/long term care policies
What steps have they taken to
 prepare for possible medical care
              needs?
Are your parents resistant to long-term
 care insurance?

          » It may be in your best interest to buy LTC
            insurance for them.
Taking Action



• Long term care insurance premiums are
  rising
• Some insurance companies have left the
  LTC market
• Government support is uncertain

  • 3. What is the “Sandwich” Generation? The Sandwich generation refers to those who support children (at any age) and at the same time support or care for parents. Because most of us are responsible adults, we don’t run away from caring for our parents or children when they are in need.

  • 5. Or Support Could Mean… Assisting with the care of grandchildren so your children can work Assisting aging parents with personal care or errands Assisting aging parents financially with living expenses
  • 6. What’s All the Fuss About? Demographic trends have led to increased attention to the Generation in recent years: • Increased life expectancies- more middle aged people have living parents • Birth rates are lower- parents have fewer children to share the burden • Adult children are more likely to live further away from parents, complicating the situation
