Hello, and welcome to Money Monday, where we help simplify your financial journey. I'm Darren Devine, Financial Planner with Sun Life and President of Devine & Associates.

Being caught in the middle isn’t easy. If you’re part of the sandwich generation—supporting aging parents while still helping your kids—you know the financial and emotional pressure can feel overwhelming.

You might be covering medical expenses for your parents while saving for your child’s education… all while trying to stay on track for your own retirement. It’s a delicate balancing act, and it can feel like you’re being pulled in all directions.

The good news? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

That’s where planning makes all the difference. A personalized financial strategy can help you manage caregiving costs, protect your income with the right insurance, and make sure your long-term goals—like retirement—don’t get put on the back burner.

We’ve worked with many families navigating these same challenges. With the right support, you can protect your present responsibilities and still build the future you envision.

If you’re feeling the pressure, let’s start the conversation. We can help create a plan that supports your entire family—and gives you peace of mind.
