Long-term Care and the Sandwich Generation
Long term care is the 800 pound gorilla in the family room. I hear about it in the line in the grocery store, within the elevator, in the mall, at church as well as on videos. Everyone my age is facing it, also it isn't ours we're facing, today.
I'm from the age bracket called the boomer or sandwich generation. Sandwich meaning we have responsibilities for multiple family members. However, we are not the first to be faced with this phenomenon, but being boomers, we are possibly the first to attach a name to this huge predicament.
Boomers have altered the paradigms that we address dilemmas in lots of arenas and I think we will rewrite our understanding about this one.
Here are a few of the problems.
Our wonderful health care system, good food and several modern conveniences have contributed to an existence expectancy which is more than ever. Therefore over the last in our healthy and productive years, when we ought to be saving that last little bit of money we'll need later on, or paying off our mortgages, or recuperating from losses in the stock exchange, traveling or enjoying our grandchildren, a lot of us have parents who are living, and though less strong as they once were, continue to be healthy. At the same time we have adult children who're building their very own futures and families and want a little help occasionally.
While reflecting upon the prior generations and how they took care of one another, I found the realization our ancestors, in addition to living closer together, had businesses that belongs to them, some people today have careers that take us to an office, factory, hospital or school building. Our grandparents were active participants within the free enterprise system owning farms, stores, ranches, or some other type of business. The reason a lot of us are having trouble, is the fact that we do not own our very own businesses. Not many jobs offer flexibility of time and put to permit involvement in multigenerational obligations and privileges.
That's the reason I began looking for a career that would permit me to operate as much as my Type A personality requires and doing so around the needs of a multigenerational family.
What provided that opportunity to me?
It had been the internet and achieving an internet business. Having an online business gives flexibility of both time and space to be involved in the lives of the 92-year-old or perhaps a 6-year-old and each age in-between.
Building your personal business advertising online will permit you to definitely be in which you need to be when you need to be there along with being able to support yourself while doing this. Whatever product you're selling, working on-line opens many avenues of flexibility to you.
