Waiting feels easier than deciding — but when it comes to downsizing, waiting often comes with a hidden price tag. ⏳💰

In this episode of Sandwich Generation Solutions, Dale Corpus breaks down the real cost of delayed downsizing and what families don’t realize happens financially, emotionally, and physically when a senior move is postponed “just a little longer.”

You’ll learn how waiting even 12–24 months can quietly erode home equity, increase care costs, and raise safety risks — often forcing families into rushed decisions later with fewer options and more stress.

This episode is for adult children who want clarity instead of crisis and need to understand the true tradeoffs of waiting.

What You’ll Learn:
• How delayed downsizing impacts home equity over time
• Why care costs rise faster when moves are made under pressure
• The safety risks that increase when homes go unchanged
• How waiting reduces senior living options and availability
• The emotional toll of crisis-driven decisions
• How proactive planning preserves choice and dignity
