Grandparents spending savings and stepping in as carers
Original: grandparent
Grandparents are at the centre of two new stories about later life in Britain and beyond. The Times reports over-65s are increasingly spending children's inheritance on holidays rather than saving it, while Barron's notes grandparents are becoming primary childcare providers as nursery and childminder costs soar. Together they show older generations funding their own retirement while absorbing family costs.
Why now: Rising living costs are changing how grandparents spend and share money across generations.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 6 snapshots from 11 d ago to 8 d ago.
