‘There's got to be better options': Residents express concern over storage unit project in Bellevue
One Bellevue resident told News 2 that she wants the development to be community-oriented, but worries that it's not going to end up that way.
The development will be located at 621 Old Hickory Boulevard, which is where an old putt-putt course used to sit.

In 2022, the land was sold and Sheri Weiner, councilmember for the district, said there were plans to build a storage unit.
However, Jordan —who lives in a townhome right off Old Hickory Boulevard—told News 2 that she and other residents don't want to see another storage unit. Instead, she said they would rather have something they can enjoy as a community.
'It could be a family-owned business, it could be food trucks that are local, it could be a coffee shop. We just think it should be an open dialogue,' said Jordan. 'There's got to be better options. We care about safety, we care about property values.'

According to Weiner, Thursday's meeting will allow neighbors to hear from the developer regarding the proposal.
The community meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. at the Bellevue Community Center.

I'm 39, nearly $60,000 in debt and have nothing saved for retirement — and I don't know what to tackle first
Jordan is 39 years old, and despite not having a college degree, he recently started a job earning $75,000 per year. But he also carries a heavy weight. He's $59,000 in debt, with no savings and no assets. He finally has some momentum with his salary, but he's burdened by poor financial decisions from his past. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it For most of Jordan's adult life, money management wasn't a priority. He was financially irresponsible throughout his 20s. But he finally decided to get his act together and take his finances seriously. He's even started budgeting. The big question he has is what should come first: becoming debt-free or building wealth for the long term? Debt rundown Student loans make up about $20,000 of Jordan's overall debt. The rest, about $40,000, is high-interest credit card debt. He's run the numbers: if he is aggressive, he should be able to pay off nearly all of his credit card debt by around mid-2027 if he puts $2,000 per month or more toward it. If he extends that runway, he could be fully debt-free the following year. But remember, Jordan doesn't have any savings. His employer offers a sponsored 401(k) plan with a 5% match, but he can only start contributing next year. So, what's his best course of action? Here are some options to consider. Establishing a small cushion One thing Jordan probably doesn't want to do is fall further into debt. That's where an emergency fund comes into play. Emergency funds are meant to protect us in case of an unexpected expense or job loss. He could start with as little as $1,000 and grow it over time. Experts typically recommend saving up three to six months' worth of expenses. Read more: Nervous about the stock market? Gain potential quarterly income through this $1B private real estate fund — even if you're not a millionaire. Getting that 401(k) match Whether Jordan decides to focus on paying down his debt or start building his nest egg, one thing he should absolutely consider doing is participating in his employer's 401(k) match program once he's eligible. Not only would contributing to a 401(k) put money toward your retirement, but any matching funds you receive from your employer is essentially free money. Matching programs are a great way to build a nest egg. Focus on debt or savings? Should Jordan prioritize paying off his debt or saving for retirement? Part of the problem with saving while paying down debt is any interest accumulated on the debt would eat into any savings. This is why some experts recommend, in this situation, focusing on paying down high-interest debt. Jordan may want to put his efforts toward paying his credit card debt as aggressively as possible, at least until he's eligible for his employer's 401(k) match program. Once he starts contributing 5% of his salary to a 401(k), the remainder he has available can continue to be put toward his credit cards until they're paid off. Depending on the interest rate of his student loan debt, he may then want to consider pulling back on how much he puts toward his debt. If the rate is low, he may want to contribute more to his 401(k) or establish an IRA. But as previously stated, as long as Jordan has debt any interest will reduce his savings. There's also the mental aspect of carrying debt. Jordan may be in a financial hole, but he's in a solid position to dig himself out. He may want to consult a financial advisor, who can help him develop a tailored blueprint to get out of debt and set himself up for the future. But either way, he can rest easy knowing there's a path forward to achieve his goals.

Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan basketball card shatters auction record
A basketball card featuring Hall of Famers Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant has become the most valuable basketball card ever, with bidding surpassing more than $6 million. The 2007-08 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Dual Logoman Autographs Michael Jordan & Kobe Bryant #DL-KM Signed PSA EX-MT 6 - #'d 1/1 features Jordan and Bryant's signatures, with two NBA logos, one white and the other gold. The bidding is currently at $5 million, and has been upped to $6.1 million with the buyer's premium. The previous record for the auction of a basketball card is the 2018 Panini National Treasures Logoman Luka Dončić 1/1, which sold for $3.2 million. The private sale record for a basketball card is a 2009 Panini National Treasures Logoman Steph Curry 1/1, which sold for $5.9 million. "The demand for this card is astronomical, which makes sense, because it has everything, including photos, jersey patches, and signatures from two of the greatest players who ever stepped on the court," Chris Ivy, Heritage's Director of Sports Auctions, said in a statement. "The Dual Logoman card offered in this auction is the only example created that includes only Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant – making it the most sought-after example of the incredible Upper Deck Logoman series, and because of Kobe Bryant's tragic death in 2020, it always will be the only one." The actual auction will take place at Heritage's Summer Platinum Night Sports Auction on Aug. 23-24, which will also feature a Jordan-signed piece of the Chicago Bulls home court, Babe Ruth's 1923 championship watch, and Mickey Mantle's earliest autograph from a 1947 high school publication. Jordan, considered by many to be the greatest basketball player ever, was a six-time NBA champion and a five-time MVP with the Bulls. Bryant was named to the All-NBA First Team 11 times and won five NBA championships with the Los Angeles Lakers. Bryant died in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26, 2020, along with his daughter Gianna and seven others.
