What would you do if you suddenly had to care for the person who once cared for you? At just 24, Eric Lim found himself in that spot when his father collapsed at the void deck. Overnight, he became a caregiver, juggling hospital visits, uni deadlines, and the emotional ups and downs of looking after a parent.

In this episode of Building Financial Fitness, we chat about the real cost of caregiving, from medical bills to the time, energy, and heart it takes. Eric shares how the experience changed his outlook on work, family, and what really matters, and how he found balance along the way.

He also talks about his upcoming book Nurturing the Nurturer – The Art of Caring Without Losing Yourself. It’s an honest, down-to-earth conversation about love, sacrifice, and learning to care without burning out.

“Caregiving doesn’t have to be a lonely journey. It’s okay to ask for help.”
