For example, think of how Old Navy, Gap, and Banana Republic are all different brand tiers of one company or how Apple has a budget iPhone 16e, the standard iPhone 16, and then the top-end iPhone 16 Pro.

In past articles, I've talked about how I tend to purchase and pack items that will assist me in the event that rain occurs during my trip. For example, I'm always sure to bring my water-resistant Allbirds Mizzles hightops to ensure I have dry feet and have eyed the Quikflip Dryflip for similar comfort reasons....

In recent years, airport lounges have seemingly exploded in popularity. Of course, that boom corresponds to an increase in attainability. That is to say that, these days, there are plenty of premium credit cards that include some level of lounge access as a perk. Moreover, a few of these card issuers are building lounge locations...

There's a certain danger in establishing myself as someone who reviews products. Despite also being a personal finance writer, I can't tell you how many times I've seen ads for items on Instagram and thought "I should buy that to review."
