A 1960s-Era Pan Am Building in Miami Will Reopen as a Luxe Private Terminal
PS, the company formerly known as Private Suite, is restoring the historic Pan Am building at Miami International Airport, transforming it into an ultra-exclusive lounge space for paying commercial airline passengers.
PS currently operates out of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), with plans to expand to Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) in 2026. The luxe spaces, popular among high net-worth and celebrity travelers, are separate from the main airport terminals and offer bespoke services as well as private security checkpoints.
When the project at MIA is complete, travelers will feel as if they're stepping back into the glamour of the 'Golden Age' of air travel in the 1960s—but with upgraded, modern amenities. The terminal will feature private TSA and customs clearance, private suites, a bar, an outdoor courtyard, decorative pools, work spaces, and more.
Originally constructed in 1963 to serve as Pan Am's regional headquarters, the building is a shining example of midcentury modern Miami architecture. It was nicknamed the 'Taj Mahal of Miami' for its similar layout to the real Taj Mahal and design that "resembles that of the US Embassy in New Delhi from 1959,' according to RJ Heisenbottle Architects, the firm overseeing the restoration project.

Married 29 Years, A Nurse Built A Real Estate Portfolio Alone. 'He Goes To Play Golf Whenever He Gets A Chance,' She Says About Her Husband
After nearly three decades of marriage, Linda, a 64-year-old nurse from Roanoke, Virginia, says she feels like she's carrying the financial weight of two people. Her husband, also 64, earns about $45,000 a year. Linda makes $115,000. They still owe $180,000 on their home, which is now worth around $400,000. She wants to pay it off before retirement. He refuses. Separate Accounts, Separate Lives 'He just does not want to pay the house off,' Linda said on 'The Ramsey Show' with Dave Ramsey and John Delony. 'I've tried to put my foot down and say, 'When we retire, we're not going to want a house payment.' But he's definitely not on board with that.'

You can The couple keeps their finances mostly separate. They have separate accounts, a house account for bills and groceries, and a joint savings for big repairs. But the rest? Completely divided. She owns two rental properties. He's not involved with either. 'When I bought the first round of property, he didn't want any part of it,' she said. So she just ran it on her own. 'I only owe $12,000 on it, so I'm getting ready to pay it off next.' Her second property, purchased to help her daughter-in-law who was battling cancer, has about $62,000 left on the mortgage. Linda is aggressively snowballing her debts and recently paid off both of their cars. 'He likes his comfy job and he goes to play golf whenever he gets a chance,' she said. 'That's pretty much it.' Trending: $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. This Isn't a Finance Problem The hosts didn't sugarcoat their responses. 'That's not a marriage,' Delony said. 'That's a couple of roommates.' The hosts emphasized that Linda's situation isn't really about money and Delony described the situation as a marriage issue, pointing to the absence of alignment and any shared plan between the couple for handling life's challenges. Ramsey called the financial imbalance and emotional distance between Linda and her husband 'painful.' He said Linda must decide whether to keep going on this path or force a turning point: counseling, confrontation, or separation. Ramsey warned that Linda's husband has no retirement savings of his own, contributes nothing to their financial future, and yet will end up relying on her retirement funds. 'He's going to retire and eat out of your retirement because he doesn't have any retirement,' Ramsey said.A Cautionary Tale For Younger Couples Toward the end of the segment, both hosts turned their attention to younger listeners. 'Please, for God's sake, don't call it love to marry someone that you are not aligned with like that,' Ramsey said. 'That's not love. It's permanent roommate lust.' As for Linda, the hosts weren't hopeful that much would change. 'I wish I'd found you 28 years ago,' Ramsey said. At this stage, it seems likely she will continue managing everything on her own, just as she has for decades.

MMP Capital Closes Inaugural Asset-Backed Securitization with Strong Investor Backing
The successful MMP Capital 2025A securitization highlights growing investor appetite for sector-focused ABS deals. Backed by medical aesthetic loans, the transaction attracted strong institutional interest, enabled pricing advantages, and marked MMP Capital's strategic expansion into public capital markets and new asset Courtesy of MMP Capital FARMINGDALE, N.Y., Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MMP Capital has announced the successful closing of its inaugural Asset Backed Securitization (ABS) transaction. The offering, MMP Capital 2025A, issued $192 million in notes backed primarily by loans secured by medical aesthetic equipment contracts. Demand from the institutional investment community exceeded all expectations. The notes drew thirty-five orders from twenty-seven unique investors, and at final pricing were nine times oversubscribed. The oversubscription allowed MMP Capital to substantially tighten spreads from launch to close, indicating deep market confidence in the credit quality of the underlying assets. The senior tranche of the deal earned a Moody's rating of Aa3, signaling a strong endorsement of the structure and asset performance.'MMP Capital 2025A's overwhelming reception underscores the trust and confidence investors have in our business, our differentiated value proposition for customers and partners, and our disciplined approach to risk,' said John-Paul M. Smolenski, CEO of MMP Capital. 'This inaugural ABS marks a pivotal milestone in our strategy to expand our existing business and explore new asset classes.' The company has built a national footprint by providing flexible, high-speed financing tailored to small business needs. Its specialization in the medical aesthetic space has helped establish a consistent asset base, equipment loans with durable collateral and recurring demand that proved attractive to ABS investors. The securitization marks the company's entry into the public capital markets, providing additional liquidity to expand its financing offerings and reach more customers in established and emerging verticals. It also signals institutional recognition of the quality and performance of MMP Capital's portfolio. The strong reception reflects broader investor interest in asset-backed securities tied to high- performing, sector-specific lending platforms. With many ABS markets seeing increased selectivity amid macroeconomic uncertainty, the scale of demand for MMP Capital 2025A stands out. The company's history of underwriting discipline and loan performance helped drive favorable pricing, even as many issuers face more cautious markets.
