Do you have aging parents and kids? This video is for you. It’s the third video from our Sandwich Money series, where Mike and Sophie discuss financial considerations for adults who have aging parents while also caring for their own children. At the end, Mike asks “Is it more impactful for them [beneficiaries] to get a big lump sum after they’ve already gotten through those hurdles on their own?”
