The Sandwich Generation Money Playbook

You're caring for your kids and your parents at the same time - and no one taught you the money and legal side of it.

Nearly half of adults in their 40s and 50s are supporting both an aging parent and a child at once. Most books on this topic want to talk about your feelings. This one doesn't.

This is the financial and legal playbook nobody hands you: the documents your family needs before a crisis, the Medicaid rules that can quietly wreck a family's finances, and the options that still exist even when there's no time left to plan ahead.

Inside, you'll learn:

• The power of attorney and HIPAA documents your family needs before a medical emergency
• How the Medicaid 5-year look-back period works, in plain English, with real numbers
• Legal, above-board ways to protect your parents' assets while still qualifying for care
• What to do when there's no time left to plan - the crisis playbook for immediate care needs
• How to stop caregiving costs from quietly wrecking your own retirement
• How to get paid, legally, through Medicaid and VA programs for care you may already be providing
• How to have the sibling money conversation before it turns into a fight

You didn't choose to be in the middle of two generations at once. But you can go into it with a plan, instead of finding out the hard way exactly when you can least afford to.
