Long-term Care and also the Sandwich Generation

Long-term care is the 800 pound gorilla in the living room. I hear about it within the line at the supermarket, in the elevator, in the department store, at church as well as on videos. Everyone my maturity is facing it, and it isn't ours we're facing, today.

I'm from the age group called the boomer or sandwich generation. Sandwich meaning we've responsibilities for multiple members of the family. However, we're not the first to be confronted with this phenomenon, but being boomers, we're probably the first to add a reputation for this huge predicament.

Boomers have altered the paradigms that we address dilemmas in many arenas and I think we'll rewrite our understanding about this one.

Here are some of the problems.

Our wonderful healthcare system, good food and many modern conveniences have led to a life expectancy which is longer than ever. Therefore over the last of our healthy and productive years, whenever we should be saving that last little bit of money we'll need later on, or paying down our mortgages, or recuperating from losses in the stock exchange, traveling or enjoying our grandchildren, a lot of us have parents who're still living, and though not as strong because they were in the past, are still healthy. Simultaneously we have adult children who're building their own futures and families and want just a little help now and then.

While reflecting upon the previous generations and how they took proper 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 in the free enterprise system owning farms, stores, ranches, as well as other kind of business. The reason a lot of us are experiencing trouble, is that we don't own our very own businesses. Very few jobs offer flexibility of time and put allowing involvement in multigenerational obligations and privileges.

That's the reason I started looking for a career that will permit me to work as much as my Type A personality requires and doing this around the needs of the multigenerational family.

What so long as opportunity to me?

It was the internet and achieving an internet business. Having an online business gives flexibility of both time and space to be active in the lives of a 92-year-old or perhaps a 6-year-old and each age in-between.

Building your own business in internet marketing will grant you to be where you need to be when you really need to become there along with being able to support yourself while doing so. Whatever product you are selling, working on-line opens many avenues of flexibility for you.
