Any fruitful ideas for me?

So I just started a job where I get paid 800 per week. I just came off a horrible jobless drought for 6 months so I’m really behind on certain payments. This job is contractual for 6 months with a chance of extension (it seems high because they always talk about how many people stayed during the last hiring round.) So I’d finish at the end of December.

I’m trying to figure out if I should prioritize paying off debt or saving in the event I don’t get extended.

I’ve thought about using each weeks pay for certain things like this:
1st week - Groceries
2nd Week - Overdue Bills (Credit cards, etc)
3rd Week - Savings (maybe)
4th Week - Bills

Does this look right ? What’s your advice?

Edit: I get paid weekly

What do you think ?

Good day.

Two weeks ago, I got an email from Gartner Research Inc basically offering me a kind of surveying job where I can make $450 a week by evaluating 2-3 stores in my area. However, the opportunities are dependent on how efficient I am so I’m not guaranteed a task every week.

The email seemed legit and they didn’t ask for anything insanely pervasive or weird. They just wanted to verify my address and name.

Last week, I got an email saying they’d send me a starter package and I received it on Saturday.

It was certified mail so I had to sign off on the package. There was a check for almost $2000 and a piece of paper giving me the details of my first task on there.

Things got sketchy when I got to the gift card part. They want me to buy 3 Apple gift cards for $500 without telling anyone why I’m getting the cards then I’m supposed to send them pictures of the back of the cards along with the receipt.

The secrecy makes sense since I’m supposed to evaluate the store and customer service skills but it’s just a little odd. The company is real but there’s not a lot of information about it online. I haven’t seen anyone get scammed like this before or by this company.

I’ve had fake jobs reach out to me before and I’ve only fell for one of them (it had nothing to do with gift cards btw) but this one is really different since they actually sent me stuff through the mail.

Is this real or is just another elaborate scam? What do you guys think?

Edit: The check is for $1950 so if I spend $1500, I’d be left the “guaranteed” $450.

Edit 2: Just confirmed that this is a scam but I already deposited the check. Oops. I’ve also just spoke to the company and they told me they’ve been getting calls about this scam for the past month so it’s very new.

Just need clarification.

My mom and I both signed a lease for this apartment. I am jobless right now but I'm in school and searching one. I had a job for a little over a year and paid every bill (utilities & phone) except rent IN FULL as I would sometimes have to chip in a couple hundred dollars. I received a key to our mailbox and she took it away from me and now she's saying she can make the landlord not give me another key because she's the "primary renter". I checked online and that doesn't seem to be a real category, as there are only co-tenants and both are responsible for everything and one can not withhold anything from the other legally, but she spoke with confidence so I'm a little confused. Is this legal?
