Do traditional Catholic priests receive a weekly or monthly paycheck from the religious order they belong too?

Monks take a vow of poverty. Whatever they get "paid" goes to the monastery.

So no spending money to go out to Red Lobster then?

Only if someone gives it to them and if they have permission to go to Red Lobster.

You can't assume that a traditional priest belongs to an order. Generally, priests get a payment from the diocese they are incardinated to. Monks would get spending money from the order they belong to and according to their needs.

can you ever stop being a monk in order to get married? what if a monk and a nun fell in love? what would happen?

Also, what if a person wishes to become a monk or a priest but has a lot of debt?
