The Only (paper) House I Can Afford

Hi there Reader! :) Today’s newsletter is a bit special: for once, I’m focusing on only one topic. I know, I tend to yap too much and make these emails very long, so I’ll try to keep it concise for a change! But more seriously, I’m travelling in France this week, so I haven’t had
