Didn't know that about money, but it makes sense. ("Extrude" is such an excellent verb in this context.)
Once I aged out of identifying with Anne-the-college student, I liked Windy Poplars because it gave Anne a job as a grown-up that used her degree, and because not everyone loved her instantly (though of course they did In Time) -- somewhat evading the Universally Adorable Protagonist problem that late-series books tend to evolve.
I liked the retcon of Professional Anne, since Montgomery decided to make her Not a Real Writer. But as I write, I reflect that none of the later Anne books give Anne much, you know, scope for her imagination.
