Why Your Future Matters When Family Comes First

from Savvy Women Talk Money · host Catherine Magana

Are you juggling aging parents, kids heading to college, and your own retirement goals—all at the same time? Welcome to the Sandwich Generation. In this episode, Catherine Magaña and Rachel Ivanovich dive into the financial, emotional, and time pressures of caring for multiple generations while still trying to plan for the future. From rising college costs and cash flow crunches to helping parents with medical care, the conversation gets real about the triple challenge facing so many women today. You'll hear practical strategies for keeping your retirement on track, setting healthy boundaries, and even using tools like long-term care insurance, dependent care credits, and estate planning to lighten the load. The hosts also share candid stories from their own lives, balancing doctor visits, college applications, and work, all while making sure they don't lose sight of what matters most. Life in the middle isn't easy, but with the right plan and clear conversations, you can navigate it with confidence. Don't just survive the sandwich years—learn how to thrive in them.
