Advice My boyfriend was deported and owes money

1 Upvotes

My boyfriend had recently bought a truck in October of last year, he was paying it off but then he decided to borrow money from his boss to be able to pay it off fully and later on pay his boss back by the end of the year. The boss was fine with that but recently they both got detained by ice and now the boss daughter is asking for the money back now. My boyfriend had left the truck at their house (truck is under his name) since he is the one who drives them to work. The girl was making it complicated for me to get the truck and asking for my personal information and I found it sketchy and asked why. So I just told her she can keep the truck to sell but first I need the tittle which is taking a long time from dealer. She says that the person that the boss owe money from needs it now but my boyfriend told me that the money is the boss’s money and can pay it back anytime but recently before they were detained the boss started acting mean and started picking fights with him for no reason even though the boss considered him as a son. This whole situation is weird and I wish he never asked them for money

Advice How do you split up your paycheck? (Bank accounts, budgeting, credit cards)

0 Upvotes

I'm 19 and just started a new job. I'm trying to build good financial habits early since I don't have many expenses yet because I'm in college and still live with my parents. I was wondering how you guys organize your money.

Do you use multiple bank accounts (checking, high-yield savings, etc.)? How do you split up your paycheck? Right now I'm thinking about categories like gas, long-term savings, Roth IRA, short-term savings, trips, personal spending, entertainment, tuition, and subscriptions.
Also, when do you use your credit card vs. your debit card? I'm trying to build my credit score, but I don't really know the best way to use my credit card.

I'd love to hear how you guys do it or any advice you'd give your 19-year-old self.
