#2 Wealth & Wellness Longevity Series: Longevity, Wealth & Family: Caring for Aging Parents While Supporting Adult Kids | Ron Macklin
Release Date: 08/25/2025
Most of us are unprepared for the “sandwich generation” squeeze: caring for aging parents while supporting adult kids — all while trying to build our own wealth and protect our health.
In this conversation, Krisstina Wise sits down with Ron Macklin to unpack the real challenges of longevity, wealth, and family across three generations. Together, they discuss:
-
Matching health span with life span so you can live long and well
-
What to do when aging parents lose autonomy — without losing yourself
-
The financial burden of caring for parents and how to plan ahead
-
How to support adult children without enabling them
-
Preparing now so you don’t become a burden later
This is the conversation most families avoid — but it’s one you can’t afford to ignore.
