During the Great Depression a self-help book was written for people experiencing a mid-life crisis during what got called The Sandwich Generation. It was called that because between the ages of 30 and 40 are when people typically tend to start financially struggling the most since they're sandwiched between trying to finance taking care of their own family, as well as trying to finance taking care of their parents ailing health and declining age. The book was called "Life Begins At 40." And so naturally, years later, a parody of it came in film form titled: "Life Begins At 8:30."
