An Introduction to the Sandwich Generation: Are you in a PB&J, Dagwood, or Pastrami Situation?

Arsenal Financial advisors Doug Orifice and Jeremy Vaille are trying really, really hard to make a listenable podcast about money and finance. In this episode they wrap up 2025 and dive into a topic that will run throughout the next few podcasts to start the year: the sandwich generation. If you're a Millennial or Gen X parent, you're likely in the sandwich generation. Learn which sandwich type you're in: primarily taking care of younger kids (PB&J), dealing with both kids and aging parents/family (Dagwood), or focused mostly on your older parents/family (Pastrami). Then Doug and Jeremy talk about some of the challenges of each, give a few tips and advice, and help set the stage for future episodes on the topic. And, of course, we round things out with some sandwich-themed dad jokes.
