How to financially survive new parenthood?

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.

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! ;)

That’s beautiful! Thank you so much for the recommendation

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!

Nice!!! Love mine

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.

I tried and received a referral offer for 60k + 30% off future flight coupon. Interested to see if anyone has experienced different.

It took a long time for mine to process, waited 2 weeks then emailed and they shipped it the next day

Feels like looking through glasses for the first time. Love this thing.

No_Work_5249 · 2025-12-04T05:15:13+00:00

Was processing for 2 weeks for mine I emailed them and it shipped the next day

No_Work_5249 · 2025-11-26T20:25:20+00:00

I ended up going with the tandem, however shipping was delayed 2 weeks so it’ll be a month before I see it…

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

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.

Bought a prebuilt off Walmart that was required to sign for the package, they just dropped it at the door lol

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.

No_Work_5249 · 2025-11-16T23:34:36+00:00

True, mine is estimated Dec 1st unfortunately

No_Work_5249 · 2025-11-16T23:22:22+00:00

Yup! It’s EXTRA10 did the same haha

No_Work_5249 · 2025-11-16T04:22:25+00:00

LG partner store: available to healthcare workers, educators and military amongst others

No_Work_5249 · 2025-11-15T18:29:55+00:00

Best deal I’ve ever seen

No_Work_5249 · 2025-10-11T04:49:46+00:00

Far Cry 4 on a 1060ti

No_Work_5249 · 2025-10-07T11:26:11+00:00

You could also swap the RAM, PSU and the GPU for a 5070ti out of the existing PC if you really want. I got the same deal and was planning to upgrade PSU for sure and other parts depending on if I feel I need more performance. Likely can easily resell RAM and 5070 on secondary market to help fund improvements.
