"We are seeing a ton of this," says Ross Levin, an Edina, Minn., financial adviser. "Sometimes it's a great idea and sometimes it is not. You have to make sure you put on your own oxygen mask first."
Some 62 percent of visitors to Grandparents.com have helped their kids financially in the past year, with 70 percent of that group handing over cash to help their adult children and grandchildren with daily expenses, says the site's CEO, Jerry Shereshewsky. Another popular category is housing; in the last year many parents have coughed up down payments to help their kids get into homes while the 8,000 first-time home buyer's credit was in effect.
Then there's the debt-bailout situation. A survey recently conducted by Creditcards.com for Newsweek found that 42 percent of folks with adult children have helped them pay off car loans, credit cards, medical bills, and more.
None of this is surprising to Shereshewsky, who sees the trend as a natural result of changing families and the distribution of wealth. "This is where all the money is--and it's where the money is, despite the fact that we've had this meltdown." In general, the baby-boom generation is far wealthier than their children are, and has a lower unemployment rate than 20-somethings. He says that the vast majority of multi-generation households now involve adult children (and sometimes their children) moving in with aging parents. Baby-boom parents generally aspire to helping their kids and their grandchildren and don't want to wait until they are dead to do it.
"You should give while you're young enough to enjoy the fruits of what you're doing," says Shereshewsky, who is personally considering getting a reverse mortgage on his home when it comes time to help his 20-something kids with home purchases.
According the passage, people are regarded as "strapped" if they are ______.
A.jobless in the recession
B.in financial difficulties
C.dependent on their parents
D.troubled by credit card debt

“Older adult falls are increasing and, sadly, often indicate the end of independence, ” said Dr. TomFrieden. The falls are preventable, Friedenstressed. He said individuals, families and healthcare providers can take steps to resist the trend. Dr. Wolf-Klein is a medical professor in New York. She said one concern is that seniors whohave experienced a fall alone at home don ’t tell anyone. When that happens, prevention effortsdon’t begin and they’re at risk for additional falls that lead to broken bones and brain injuries.
“Elderly patients tend not to report falls to their families, or even doctors. A fall is a veryfrightening thing that you keep quiet about. They think if they mention it, they are afraid thatthey will move to a nursing home or need assistants to help out in the house, ”said Wolf-Klein. It’s also a status issue and may make someone feel that they’re weaker than they really are,she explained. When someone does fall and hurt themselves, they’re often never the same,Wolf-Klein said. “You can develop chronic(慢性的)problems. After a fall, a percentage of thepopulation will never return to walking around. People used to taking the subway, now they ’re ina wheelchair, or they may need help going to the bathroom. They become frailer and loseindependence,” she said.
