Praise for Money Hacks for Metalheads and Old Millennials:
"Certainly, this is the first personal finance book ever with puns about both Carcass and The Dark Crystal series on Netflix. [...] This book is a phenomenal resource for anyone in a band and is essential reading for anyone interested in improving their fortunes in the near future."
- Keith Chachkes, Ghost Cult Magazine
"Jessie's style is direct & frank, no bullshit or just-filling-the-pages; in between her life-hack chapters there are interviews with music professionals... No whitewashing and lots of useful tips, not only for bands and promoters, but also for the average fan. Or actually, for everyone."
- Klaudia Weber, Stalker Magazine
