Bailey’s plan includes socking away several million dollars, because collected interest consumes very little time. “When you have enough money, everything can be delegated.”

Solowski knows why the crowd is there. “Who wants to live in house with a snow machine in the attic so you can ski all year round? How would you like to drive a Rolls Royce to the bowling alley? Wanna see my titanium American Express card? That’s what oil can do for you!” Read more
