Caring for a loved one can be beautiful, but it can also be overwhelming. Between work, family, and daily responsibilities, finding the right help shouldn't be another burden. I’ve found my Employee Assistance Program to have helpful resources.

What additional resources or advice is available to combat caregiver burnout?

Well said! Not as many as needed.
You don’t understand until you’re in it.
I found myself exhausted, angry and disinterested. I moved from full time+, to part time, and ultimately quit. Between my healthcare needs of husband & my mom, childcare for my grandson, and entering my menopause journey, I was tired of carrying the weight of the world. I tried to do it all!!! Thankfully, I’d been a life long aggressive saver and could afford to walk away for now at least. Good luck!

How long do you spend on monthly reporting for your clients?
My 3-person team spends about 15+ hours a month each writing monthly reports for our clients (99 small retainer clients).

How do you simplify without losing value?

I’m looking for a new job and have found that small companies send me rejections quickly and the huge companies are the only ones giving me a chance. I thought it would be the other way around. I really just want a new job and I think I’ll have more luck passing the interviews for smaller companies than the big ones. Any recommendations on how to make myself more appealing to smaller companies? Thank you I need a new job ASAP :(

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k. But (since I started paying attention to this kind of thing) have always been over the income limit to start a Roth IRA. I’ve also not done much contributing in the last few years due to purchasing an apartment and saving for renovations. Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?
