Who Stole My Money

The trouble with noodles

Grace Xue began whostolemymoney.com out of personal necessity – to track down exactly where her money was vanishing.

Arriving in New Zealand from China nine years ago, aged 19, with no money or family support, she put herself through Auckland University. She graduated with distinction in information systems and operations management in 2002, then took a well-paid job with a retail management software company. “Before too long I asked myself, ‘What’s happened to all my money?’ I had nothing to show for it except fun,” says Xue.
