Who is paying for all this? The elder care cost of helping aging parents goes far beyond assisted living and medical bills. Groceries, prescriptions, home repairs, travel expenses, in-home caregivers, and even lost wages can quickly become a financial burden for Gen X families.

In this episode of Aging Parent Trap X, Allison Newlon, Nikki Flynn, and Julie Cook discuss the hidden costs of elder care and the difficult question so many families face: Who is responsible for paying for aging parents' expenses?

Should siblings split elder care costs equally? Should the sibling earning more contribute more financially? What about the family member sacrificing their career, income, and personal time to provide daily care?

Nikki shares her personal experience with the overwhelming responsibilities of caring for an aging parent and how caregiving can affect your ability to continue working.

For Gen Xers already juggling careers, mortgages, children, and retirement planning, the financial and emotional costs of caring for elderly parents can be overwhelming.

We want to hear from you! Who is paying for your aging parents' care? Are your siblings helping financially or sharing caregiving responsibilities?
