brought to you by the every dooll app
start budgeting for free today so I'm
receiving it an inheritance from a
family member that had passed away right
and I currently have am living with my
girl my girlfriend Kelly and around at
first when I had first started getting
the inheritance she was like directed as
like a Peay as like a watchover guide
type of thing for me with my money and I
just recently found out that about
around 30 to $40,000 is just gone from
that that I should have that I should
have saved in in a bank account and it's
just missing don't know where it's at
how can I like legally try to go about
getting my money back in returned to
me you you're you're saying you put your
girlfriend on your account and she stole
your
money yes and there's no like receipts
there's no no nothing and why is she not
the exir
girlfriend
uh I'm trying to figure that one out
myself as well yeah me too cuz I I got
about a three and a half second rule on
this one buddy I have a low threshold
for dating criminals and people who
committed fraud against
me yeah I've like I've asked her about
it and she's like she's verbally
admitted to it but there's nothing I
don't know I think what did she do with
the money pray Tale
I don't know I did you ask her you stole
my
$40,000 where the hell is my money this
is how this sounds a natural line of
questioning she literally tells me I
don't know that's literally it yeah I
literally don't know where you're going
to be living by Nightfall cuz I'm
setting all your crap out in the
street right and then I've had a good
friend of mine my buddy that's my one of
my neighbors he's helped me with it and
tried to do add up and do some Financial
like checking with it and a couple of
times i' that's how we found out about
this and a couple of times I've actually
had to um I've gotten like back pay with
my inheritance a couple of different
times for two years and D David is she
still on the account today honey no she
is not I have my she still living in
your
house yes why but she has no she has
nothing to do with my bank account why
is she still in your
house I'm renting I don't know you need
the rent
money we're both on the same lease
together for our are you is your phone
cutting out or is somebody in the
background I'm I'm with my friend he's
with me as well he's telling you what to
say he's helping me like with
okay uh David how old are you
I'm 29 years old sir what do you do for
a living
sir I currently do not have a job at the
moment I'm looking for a new job why I
lost my job okay
why uh if I'm going to be honest about
it from my past substance abuse okay
okay that's fair how long has it been
since you've
worked uh honestly about four or five
months about almost five months okay all
right um
so uh I think you
need more and better counsel in your
life than just your friend who's trying
to help you and I'm glad he's trying to
help you but you need some other folks
in your life to help guide you through
putting your life together in a way that
this kind of thing doesn't happen to you
okay yes and so um you are in the
Minneapolis area all right and so
what I'm going to do is Christian's
going to pick up when I put you on hold
and we're going to connect you with a
good local church there and get some of
the Pastoral team to come around you and
help guide you back into a
career and guide you uh to make sure
that these kinds of things aren't
happening to you help help you stay
sober help you with your sobriety and
and help you put help you put together a
life that uh that doesn't leave you
vulnerable to this kind of thing and
that's going to include my suggestion is
is that this this lady needs to leave
your home today okay yes and she does
not your girlfriend
anymore because people that love people
don't do this to other
people give me one sorry and tell her to
take her dog with her too um
yeah I don't think legally I mean she's
a pay on the account so well I don't
know what I I I don't think he's going
to get his money back cuz she spent it
it's gone it's not like she moved it
into her name and has done a beautiful
investment that he's going to get back
there's no one in this whole story
that's very smart and so um no you've
got to separate yourself
from um people that bring you harm you
have to put physical distance between
yourself emotional different distance
spiritual distance and legal distance
David you're not going to get your money
back your money's gone the only thing
you can do is prevent this from
happening again by putting your life
together in such a way that you have a
sustainable life where you don't need
this inheritance and it becomes a
blessing that you can grow and build
yourself a prosperous life long term but
you're not going to do that with this uh
character under your
roof okay and uh and there when someone
steals your money there is no magic hack
to help you get your money back most of
the time when someone steals your money
it's gone is you know very rarely um and
you know you could threaten to prosecute
her criminally if she doesn't return the
money and see if she coughs some of it
up but um I don't know that she can um
because I think she probably spent it
think it's
probably uh probably spit on drugs I
don't know have no idea what you spend
on one another reminder never combine
your finances or life with someone
you're not married
to ever period
ever ever never do that good point
George create your free every doll
budget today the simplest way to budget
for your life
