The Sandwich Generation - Scary?

Do you realize that people around us when they advance into their 50s and 60, more and more of them may still have children in school rather at office - the result of a widespread late marriage or delayed childbirth.

To make the matters financially worse,  some of their parents may not have planned well for their own retirement and become dependent on their own children for financial support.

Parental care on top of child care. So scary, right? Better start thinking and plan early on how to resolve it? May be a long period of consolidation?
