Forbes The stakes are huge. For all the public focus on twentysomethings moving back with their parents or Lena Dunham and her underemployed friends carping about their lot on HBO’s Girls, Millennials, roughly defined as young adults born after 1980, control maybe $2 trillion in liquid assets, Wealthfront says. By the end of the decade that number is expected to surge to $7 trillion. And that will get vastly bigger as Millennials enter their prime earning years and then a massive wealth transfer from their Boomer parents begins.

Over the years, I've noticed that one publicist keeps sending me press releases (mostly for books) that I open, read, and sometimes adapt into blog posts. I recently asked her what makes a "killer" press release. Here's what she said.
