Many of us find ourselves caught between caring for others and trying to prepare for our own future. Whether it’s supporting aging parents, helping out family members, or just being the one others lean on, the emotional and financial weight can add up quickly. At the same time, we’re told to plan for retirement, save consistently, and think long-term—even when the day-to-day is already demanding.

How do you plan for a retirement that feels uncertain while still being present for the people who matter most? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer.
