Generational Juggling
Our generation is known by several names; Generation Jones, Emptynesters, Baby Boomers, The Sandwich Generation & The Silent Generation. There are those who've been fortunate enough to make it to retirement and pre-retirement years with a pension, the kids have begun their journey out from under your protective wings, and your parents are in good health and living independently. If you are in this category, consider yourself truly blessed in your life. Unfortunately, the reality for many of us is that our kids have not had the means with which to move out, we are taking care of our elderly parents and/or are raising our grandkids. The purpose of this Resource section is to provide a list of the following Resources which we hope will benefit you, whatever your life situation may be. If you find that any of this information is incorrect, please contact to let us know. We always want to offer up-to-date information. Thanks.
