You're in your forties or fifties. You're caring for an aging parent. You're working full time. And every few months, your adult child asks for money again.

You love them. You want to help. But every time you say yes, your own retirement gets smaller.

In this episode, R. Lee Vann gives you three sentences that protect your retirement -- without losing your child.

You'll learn:

- Why "I can't" works better than "I won't"

- The three-question test for real emergencies vs. recurring patterns

- How to hold the boundary when the request comes back

- What Galatians 6:5 says about adult responsibility

- The Tortoise Formula applied to the sandwich generation

This is the final episode in the Sandwich Generation arc. If you have ever sat up at 10:30 PM doing the math on three generations, this one is for you.
