_What’s The Deal With My Dollar_

I want to know where my dollar is from.

My money lived before now,
getting passed from buyers to
workers
strangers
people
for costs,
expenses,
like a mortgage.

Did somebody spend it
to care for their family

or did they use it
for transactions
less than legal?

Why do I have this dollar now?
