Happy Halloween edition
I got my Transferwise card this week (not sure when I’ll actually get a chance to use it) but not much else to report.
Here are new posts on the forum this week:
It’s been pretty active recently. Nice to see 🙂

Too many paywalled articles. Still good
You can get around almost all paywalls by googling the article title in a ‘secret’ browser window ^-^
I couldn’t get around the paywall for 9.
Does it end with Yusuf getting Pride and Prejudice delivered to the back of his noggin?
Nah, just the tutor musing about their weird life.
Their hourly rates are less than I’d make here in Japan though, for a lot more work 😉
