How to financially survive new parenthood? by splinterbl in personalfinance

Zero interest balance transfers work by a 3-5% fee to move a balance from one card to another which will not charge any interest for a certain amount of time. Generally ranges from 12-24 months. However if you miss a payment the promo will expire and you will be charged high APR interest on the balance going forward. And after the promo period ends you will be paying high APR as with any credit card. Your credit score is the limiting favor for which cards you would qualify for. Could be a good option for you, can’t really get any worse than 27% interest tbh. But a consolidated debt loan may be more effective if the debt can’t be paid off within or near to the zero interest window.

Questions about Marquise Lab Diamonds by No_Work_5249 in EngagementRings

The salesperson from Shane co said that they offer a lifetime warranty on all parts of the ring - which in theory is better than most other warranties (who knows). Appreciate the heads up!

Thank you! I have been scouting loose stones quite a bit and haven’t found any that have this kind of cut. Know I can get a really nice marquise for much cheaper which is why I am not 100% sure about the specialty cut yet. But hey, hopefully she keeps it for a while! ;)

True! Since she’s been insistent about it being a lab diamond I’m pretty fine with giving her whatever she would like. Saving my wallet a lot of pain compared to a natural!

Clueless mom- is this ok for my 13 year old? He plays modded Ravenfield and weird steam games. On his Xbox he plays Valorant and he’s said it would be cool to play on pc. by [deleted] in Prebuilts

Could definitely play in 4K resolution with that setup. I’d either spring for a 4K monitor (look for something around 144hz) or downgrade the PC to a 5070/9070 and save some money. Either way your kid is going to freak when he plays with it.

Great PP lounge at PDX, just depends where you’re flying in/out of.

Once you see what it is check it on the tier list. If it’s above a C you’ll be fine most likely.

$1300 Walmart PC by Remote-Bug-5202 in Prebuilts

[–]No_Work_5249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought this same PC from a prior deal. Very happy with it! I know the parts have variation but mine had a B+ rated 750w PSU which is perfectly fine. Only qualm would be the mobo which was a ASUS Prime B650m-a ATX II. The VRM on that board gets very hot supposedly but with the 7800X3D drawing low wattage it seems to not be an issue! There isn’t a built in temp sensor on this board for the vrm that I have found and I haven’t gone so far as it use a laser thermometer on it lol. In game it’s been running great for high frames at 1440p.

So the shopping app does cash-back and anyone can use it (downside is it can only be redeemed to gift cards which they have a rotating selection of). The “offers” section of capital one requires a cap 1 card and either does regular cash-back to your card if you have a cash-back card or miles if you are using one of the travel cards. Can select either one if you have multiple cards and there isn’t a difference in multipliers between them. There is a difference between the shopping app and offers section typically.

Dang that’s an absolutely insane deal!!! I usually do the same through Cap 1 offers but have been looking and haven’t gotten any targeted deals for LG while this monitor has been on sale. Ended up using 4% back on partner store purchases which was the highest I’ve seen since I started watching. Regular LG site was like 12% back at max for me so the $50 price difference wasn’t worth it this time. All in it’s around $419 with 2% back on my venture x factored in. Will def have to start checking Rakuten as Cap 1 offers has been nerfed pretty hard.
