Bonds Offer Liquidity Support for Sandwich Generation Managing Multiple Expenses
Middle-aged Indian families, often part of the sandwich generation supporting both children and aging parents, face financial pressures from competing expenses like home loans, education, healthcare, and retirement savings.
