Trends with Benefits #94: Caregiving Planning for the Sandwich Generation with Sarah Ricca
28 February 2023
Listen Time 27:21 MIN
On this episode, I am joined by Sarah Ricca, Senior VP, Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley. We talk about the financial challenges and demands facing the “sandwich generation,” a term used to describe those managing raising kids, planning for retirement, and caring for elderly parents. This discussion is a little biased toward caring for elderly parents, while also making sure one’s own goals and family needs are being met. We introduce key things to consider and tips you can apply to your own situation. Additionally, we outline how offering caregiving planning services can help financial advisors develop a competitive advantage in their practice.
