Money...Where does it go?

Welcome to my first ever blog. How freakin exciting!!!
I thought id take out a hard topic straight up...  Money.
Where does it go?
Money seems to disappear so fast. You work so hard for it or work so hard to bludge off the government for it. It really should last long.
It’s not fair that like 10% of people on Earth hold like 90% of all the money. They really should give some of it to me.
And how the do you get your face on money. I think I need to get a petition going to replace the queen with my face on Australia coins. I don’t think it’s fair that it’s her head on our coins. She doesn’t even live here. I wonder if it’s difficult to break into the mint and replace the picture. I doubt the queen would notice. She has probably never even touched Australian money. I couldn’t pocket a few souvenirs while I’m in there, take a couple of each currency. I’m sure it would disappear fast though.

Money disappearing so fast reminds me of the missing dollar riddle...
Three dudes check into a motel for the night (not sure if they are gay or not) and the clerk tells them the room is $30, which is $10 each man (that’s a pretty cheap room).  So anyway, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room (I don’t wanna know what went on in there).  A few minutes later, (gee that was quick, oh there is more to the story. My bad) the clerk realizes he has made an error and the room was actually only $25. He asks the bellboy to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in.  As the bellboy is heading to the mens room he realises the guests don’t know the total of the revised bill. So the bellboy decides to just give each man $1 and keep $2 for himself.  Now, each of the three ‘friends’ gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night.  We know the bellboy pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. 
Where did the other dollar go????
It just disappeared. Someone stole it. I think the banks the stole it. Or maybe that’s where the leprechauns get their money to put at the end of a rainbow.
It’s a conspiracy and I want my dollar back!!! I could use that extra dollar to place a bet on the Dragons winning the NRL grand final. Go the Dragons!!!
And speaking of betting, its spring here is lovely Australia, which means it’s time for the spring racing carnival. I love to have a small gamble on the horses. Just a few dollars each week. It’s great fun to follow the horses week to week, and watch them run around in circles. For those of you out there who love to gamble remember there is a very easy way to return from a casino with a small fortune: go there with a large one.
But lets not forget money isn’t everything. Waste your money and you're only out of money, but waste your time and you've lost a part of your life.
So yea that’s my first blog. Leave a comment if u like. I won’t pay a penny for your thoughts, but you’re welcome to throw in your  two-cents.
So the next time a dollar goes missing, stop and think... my cat’s name is mittens.
