We receive lots of mail from people who have children asking how they can juggle their desires for financially planning their own retirement (and guilt over that) with their need to financially care for their children.
Since we are childless, many times our insights, advice or experiences are not taken seriously. What we call discipline or fiscal responsibility they sometimes call called cold heartedness.
Lately there have been articles written about the Boomers getting in the way of their own retirement due to the ad infinitum fiscal support of - first their own children, and then their grandchildren. The following article and book emphasize this point.
