In the bustling world of parenting, where the to-do list seems never-ending, there’s a new beacon of hope — grandparents. Being a grandparent can have a significant impact on the success and health of one's retirement, and today we’re going to talk about the physical, emotional, and financial benefits.

Being an active and engaged grandparent can have numerous benefits, which we’ll dive into by discussing a study from Finland. It provides an opportunity to remain involved with younger generations, stay mentally sharp, and maintain an active lifestyle. Grandparents also have the chance to pass on wisdom and create lasting memories with their grandchildren. Additionally, there are financial benefits, such as the ability to provide support and assistance to family members while still alive, and the potential for reduced expenses by engaging in activities with grandchildren that don't require significant spending.

Join us as we talk about the important role that grandparents play and explain how it fits into our Retirease approach to retirement.
