MarketWatch reported financial experts recommend giving money to adult children and grandchildren during your lifetime rather than waiting until after you pass away.

The advice focuses on how to manage this type of giving, often called "giving while living," without jeopardizing your own financial security and retirement plans.

This approach allows benefactors to see the impact of their gifts and potentially provide more effective support.

Managing such gifts carefully is important to ensure that the giver's retirement funds remain intact and sufficient for their needs.
