When you disconnect someone’s means from their lifestyle preferences, otherwise-befuddling choices begin to make sense. The rich person who drives the Accord? Well, their ability to make money is unrelated to their taste in automobiles. The person spending their meager paychecks on luxury travel and racking up credit card debt?

Credit cards are a little like steroids, in that way: They allow you entry to a world that you otherwise would be incapable of…

A year after former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz sold the Seattle SuperSonics to Sooner State mogul Clay Bennett, in 2006, the new owner made clear his plans to move the franchise to Oklahoma City. Fans were devastated. But a handful of Seattle-based executives and civic leaders were more concerned about the Sonics’ WNBA sisters.
