The Hidden Cost of Informal Caregiving (w/ Cathie Chew)

View descriptionShare

What happens when caregiving quietly reshapes your life and your finances forever?

In this episode of Building Financial Fitness, Junus catches up with Cathie Chew, who shares what it was like stepping into the role of caregiver for her husband. She talks about the emotional ups and downs, the financial strain, and how she managed to stay afloat with some smart planning and a strong support system. They also dive into why caregiving often falls on women, how tricky it can be to get government help, and what workplaces can do to better support caregivers. It’s a real and relatable conversation about a role that’s more common than we think but rarely talked about.
