About the Book

You're not bad with money. You just have too many people to pay for.

If you're in your 40s or 50s - managing a parent's care costs, supporting your children, running your own household, and watching your retirement savings stall out - this book was written for you.

You are the sandwich generation. And the financial advice written for everyone else doesn't work for your life.

The 50/30/20 rule assumes one income direction. Budgeting apps don't know where to put "transferred $400 to Mom." Every system you've tried was built for a financially simpler household than yours - and when you tried to force your life into it, the system lost every time.

The Squeeze gives you something different: a complete money system designed from the ground up for the reality of dual-direction financial drain.

Inside, you'll find:

  • The Sandwich Audit - a one-session exercise that calculates your true caregiving cost, including the hidden expenses most people miss entirely
  • The Three-Bucket System - a budget architecture that separates your household, your caregiving obligations, and your future into distinct, protected pools - so nothing quietly bleeds into everything else
  • The Eldercare Cost Ladder - plain-English breakdowns of what each stage of care actually costs in 2025-2026, what Medicare will and won't cover, and how to build a financial buffer before the next transition arrives
  • The Support Ceiling - a framework for deciding what you can genuinely afford to give your children, with conversation scripts for renegotiating arrangements that have outlasted their purpose
  • The Retirement Minimum Rule - a non-negotiable contribution floor that protects your future even when everything else is competing for the same dollars, plus the IRS catch-up rules that could add $41,000 a year to your retirement if you're over 50
  • The Income Gap Calculator - a tool for identifying whether your shortfall is a budgeting problem or an income problem, and twelve income streams specifically designed for caregiving schedules
  • The Legal Protection Checklist - the five documents your household needs in place before a crisis forces the conversation, with affordable resources for completing them starting this week
  • The Self Line - the line in the budget that finally includes you

The book closes with a 90-Day Reset - a sequenced, week-by-week implementation plan that turns everything you've learned into a working system, plus a derailment protocol for when life (inevitably) interrupts the plan.

You are the financial foundation for two generations. That is an enormous thing to be.

The Squeeze gives you the system to sustain it.
