Those of us originally dubbed the “Sandwich Generation” have now become the “Triple-Decker Club” generation, navigating the needs of elderly parents, ourselves, children, and grandchildren. It's difficult to ping-pong among everyone and still take care of ourselves and our own health, finances and emotional stability. But it can be done, and frankly, we must do it for ourselves because no one is going to do it for us.

There isn’t a woman we know who hasn’t had the rug pulled out from under her -- professionally, personally or both -- by a mediocre member of the “boys’ club.” We’re not crazy or hysterical. We’re furious. And we’re not going to spend our best years playing by rules that don’t favor our success. Sometimes, we build our own playgrounds and play by our own rules.

We’re going to live a long time. And we’re going to control a lot of money, more than $30 trillion by the end of the decade. That means we have two important jobs:

• We need to “hack” our healthspan, so we can have the best second half possible; and

• We need to understand what to do with wealth. We must ensure we have enough resources to afford what we want and need to manage our stress around finances. (Stress is bad. We don’t do stress.)
