All look, no leap: Millennials could pay for cautious financial decisions

All look, no leap: Millennials could pay for cautious financial decisions

Denver Post — Millennials aren't buying in. "They don't invest as much," says Mike Serio, the Denver-based regional chief investment officer at Wells Fargo. He says it comes down to two things: personal attitudes and, among those who've taken it on, student debt.

Retirement savings low? It doesn't take a catastrophe to be part of the retirement crisis

Denver Post — "I just remember my husband saying, 'I'm never going to be able to retire,' " she says. Today, 7 percent of all workers and 10 percent of those over age 55 share that sentiment, according to the EBRI. "It wasn't like he felt bad about it, it was just kind of a fact of life."

Debt and mental health issues go hand in hand

Debt and mental health issues go hand in hand

Denver Post — In 2001, while Angela Sasseville was expecting her first child, her husband, Bill, was laid off. With his background in mechanical engineering, he was able to find a new job again before daughter Oriel was born. But 15 days after Oriel's birth, Angela, who had been working as a recruiter, was treated to her own layoff while on maternity leave. The next day was Sept. 11, 2001. "We all know what happened to the economy, and the recruiting field that I was in was hit very hard," she says. "Companies don't need recruiters when there's high unemployment."

Climate change: The hottest thing in science fiction

Climate change: The hottest thing in science fiction

Grist — Post-apocalyptic science fiction isn’t new. But you may have noticed an uptick in books set in the wake of some kind of major climate disaster. Some call it “cli-fi” — sci-fi infused with the increasingly frightening impacts of climate change.

Budgeting for a baby takes planning, experts say

Budgeting for a baby takes planning, experts say

Denver Post — Golden residents Laurel and Max Delmonico seem unusually prepared, much to the benefit of their 4-month-old son, also Max. "The immediate cost that we were concerned about was delivery," Laurel says. "We were planning for that a year or so before he was even conceived." Huge life changes call for commensurate planning, especially when they come with the cost of raising a child. If you seek it out in books or on websites, you might find that cost to be estimated at somewhere between $250,000 and $1 million, depending on where you live, your current lifestyle and income - and how much of your child's college tuition you'd like to pay.

Gmail tips for journalists

Gmail tips for journalists

www.daveburdick.com — This was updated in February, 2013. I don't necessarily use all of the features listed below under "Labs" at this point, mainly because my job has changed and I have different workflow needs now. I still found these items useful at one point and would again if I had daily production deadlines rather than weekly ones! Also: I recommend not even bothering with this document until you've got Gmail open in front of you! Use it one piece at a time. Huh? Gmail for journalists? How different could email use be for journalists and, you know, normal people?

Second Story Garage: Live music video series

Second Story Garage: Live music video series

www.daveburdick.com — The Second Story Garage series included a weekly set of videos of songs, a weekly interview with a band and a weekly newsletter ( see an example here) that included other local music news. Bands added to the decor by bringing us something when they visited. How it happened Back when the Camera was in its old building at 1048 Pearl St., Boulder, we had a lot of extra space. This came from the usual cutbacks and consolidations of oughties journalism - but what we had was the space where a printing press used to be and the space where inserts were, I don't know, inserted.

Car vs. bus calculator: How much can you save?

Car vs. bus calculator: How much can you save?

Denver Post — I recently went through a bunch of work (OK, not that much work) in order to pat myself on the back a little about taking the bus to work. I figured out that I save around $60 per month by taking public transportation rather than driving, paying for gas and paying for parking. I asked Dan Schneider if he could help me build (OK, build for me) a car vs. bus calculator that would enable you to easily do the same thing I did - determine the difference in cost of you taking public transportation or driving to work.
