Finding balance: Supporting women in the sandwich generation
If you’re currently supporting aging parents and raising children, while also managing your career and your own financial future, you’re not alone. Many women today are navigating what’s known as the ‘sandwich generation’, and it can feel daunting.
Sue Wood, Director of Wealth Strategies at CIBC Private Wealth says women need to consider their own priorities and goals when financial planning. “Our advice is to open the dialogue among the impacted parties so that objectives and concerns are shared, and solutions can be identified that allow everyone to get what they need and not have only one person assume all the financial burden.”
Our personalized approach helps facilitate important family conversations and assess your financial priorities so you can navigate caregiving responsibilities, education, retirement planning, and other competing goals with confidence.
