We are now one whole month in 2022 and I just realized: I haven’t done a reader case yet! Well, we can’t have that, now can we? Into the email bag we go! Hi! So I found out about your book in an interesting way. I was on a Zoom call with my boss during our weekly meeting and he was screen-sharing. At one point I could see some personal files, one of which was called “How to Quit Like a Millionaire“. Hmmm, interesting! I immediately looked up what that was while we were still in our meeting and ordered the hell […]

I think it’s time for a reader case, so let’s dip into the ol’ mail bag and see what we find, shall we? Hi Millennial Revolution. Let me start by saying that I love your book!

The section on taxes was amazing to me and something that I had not even considered. […]

But even though the pandemic was (and in many parts of the world, still is) a horrible experience for everyone, there are a few rays of positive change that managed to sneak their way through the gloomy, COVID-infected storm-clouds. I’m talking, of course, about all the socially accepted […]
