Here are some amazing statistics about our grandparents from the AARP 2018 National Grandparent Report, a wonderful resource!

· There are over 70 million grandparents in the US.

· Grandparents represent a strong economic and demographic base with great spending power.  According to AARP, they spend roughly $179 billion per year on grandchildren, which is approximately $2,562 per grandparent.

· The youngest grandparents in the US are age 38 with the oldest grand and great-grand being over 100.
