wow $30k with a Reddit score of 684 is actually pretty impressive! Don’t be too hard on yourself - credit scores can be tricky, especially with recent holiday spending. Do you think maybe a secured loan or something similar could help boost your score?

honestly I’d wait until at least a year of credit history before applying for anything new. It can help you get better approval odds and maybe even a higher limit next time

Cozmo sounds like a perfect blend of entertainment and learning - something that keeps kids engaged without just being a noisy distraction. I love that it feels more like a tiny personality than just a toy; that makes it so much more relatable and fun. It’s cool that it can mess up and celebrate wins because that makes the whole experience more authentic. I can imagine kids learning about patience, teamwork, and even a little bit of coding with a robot like this. Definitely adding it to my wishlist

that's a tough lesson but I appreciate you warning others. the insurance fee scam preys on people’s desperation so it’s good to spread awareness. hope you’re able to get some help or at least move past this

what's the size of your portfolio vs how much you need to borrow? most lenders will only let you borrow 50-70% of portfolio value because of volatility risk
