Are warranties on video games only to cover damage in case of replacing the game? I bought FF7 Rebirth a little over a month ago with a trade in credit and I got a warranty on it for a year (I also had to use my regular debit card for some of the purchase) and was wondering if I could return it for the money back, or if the refund slot is closed? Not sure how warranties work at Gamestop. Thanks!!

Hey all,
I have a 2018 Hyundai Tuscan. I was with Geico since I purchased the car back in 2018. I felt my insurance was high (was paying 330 for 2 cars). So I decided to shop around.
I was completely unaware of the theft issue when I was shopping around. I finally decided on State Farm which offered me a policy for two cars (including the Hyundai for a little over $200 per month).
State Farm wrote the policy and I paid my first month’s premium without any issue. I got my insurance cards, and my safe driver devices and this issue was never mentioned Within a few weeks I received a notice saying the Hyundai was being dropped from State Farm.
This was a shock to me because I was completely oblivious to this entire situation. When I tried to go back to Geico after only a month off their plan I was told I needed to have a software update done to my car to have it covered. My policy expires May 31st and I can’t find a Hyundai service center who can get the work done before July.
I’ve tried countless other insurance companies (legit, 10-12 companies and spoke with 3 different brokers) and was told no because either A. the company will flat out not cover the vehicle, period. Or B. because I was with State Farm for only 1 month the new company requires I was with my previous company for at least six months (this includes AAA). At this point I don’t know what to do.
Calling Geico and State Farm corporates were not helpful. Everyone seems to blame the person at State Farm who wrote the new policy but that does not help me.
Does anyone have any advice? I’m in a really bad spot, I can’t afford to sell the car because I don’t have enough for a down payment on anything new and I have a 2 week deadline.
Hyundai was also not helpful. I was assigned a case manager and basically told they would call around and see if they can find a dealer who can do the software update faster. Does not help at all.
I don’t want to be on the bad drivers list for it lapsing and no one will cover the car.
I feel like this is so unfair as I did nothing wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I’m in Pennsylvania if that’s helpful.
Thanks so much for your help and I apologize for the novel. I hope this all makes sense.

My mother purchased a gift card for me for my birthday. She purchased it on May 2 and my birthday isn’t until a few days after that. So when I went to use the card, it told me invalid code. I went back to the shoppers drug Mart and they told me that I need to contact Amazon and they will fix the issue very quickly. So I went through Amazon and Amazon took a total of, almost 10 days to get back to me basically saying that this is not a real gift card. I went back to the store again today and there was a new supervisor there and she realized it was a fraudulent gift card and it had another sticker on it with the other barcode. So now she’s saying, I can come talk to the manager tomorrow, and they will “see what they can do ”.
It’s a $100 gift card. My mom used her debit card to get it. Will she be able to do a chargeback if this is not resolved? We are waiting to meet with the manager tomorrow to see what they say. If not, I guess we will have to go through our bank?
Anyone dealt with this before? We are so beyond frustrated with the back-and-forth. Shoppers especially at this location in Brampton Ontario does not feel very helpful.

27F. Genuinely curious what other people think of how I'm doing money wise. I see people on FIRE that are my age talking about reaching a $500,000 net worth and it gives me anxiety, so this is an effort to self soothe and also gain some potential advice.
Note I live in a HCOL city (LA) and am not willing to move, I need my own apartment to be with my cat and live near my boyfriend and I refuse to live with a roommate for my own mental health.
Net worth (excluding debt)
Amex HYSA: $8,700
401K: $4,090 (I contribute 2%, my employer matches up to 3% but I need the money right now as I am trying to get my credit cards down to 0 before the 0% is up in September. Then I will switch it back to 3%)
Charles Schwab brokerage: $20 in SWVXX lol
Debt (I live off my credit cards for the points):
Capital One Savor One: $1,558 (food)
Wells Fargo Cash Back: $1,807 (all other purchases including bills)
Income:
$83K a year - $4,502.80 a month ($2,251.40 biweekly). This is after my 401K and health insurance deductions. Taxes eat me alive as my company is based in NY and I am based in LA.
I also sell my old clothes on Poshmark which can bring in an extra $100 a month sometimes.
Monthly Expenses:
Rent: $2,264
Food: $500
Wifi: $71.99
Electric: $140 (It's about $280 bimonthly)
Therapy: $180
Gas: $100 (I do not have a car payment as my parents gave me a car)
Prescriptions: $40
Psychiatrist: $45
Cat: $50
Self care: $100
Apple music: $10.99
Resume now subscription: $3
Miscellaneous expenses: $100
I live off my credit cards, and I throw all my money at them every month but can never seem to pay them both down to 0 as some unexpected expense always comes up that sets me back (For example, this month I had to go to urgent care which was $100). Sales tax in LA and general inflation in general is awful here so with a few miscellaneous expenses I've easily blown $100-$300 over the month. Also, I care about how I present myself so I can spend an extra $100-200 on that a month whether it be hair, makeup, clothes, skin, etc.
My financial goals include getting $20k in my HYSA before pivoting to investing with any of my spare money (even though I do not have any experience with this my plan would be to find low risk mutual funds that pay healthy dividends or returns). Future forward I would like to retire by 70 with $80,000 a year.
In terms of buying a house, I haven't even considered it since it feels so out of reach in my area. Aesthetics matter to me and any house under $1 mil here looks like shit / is in a bad area, so I'm not interested unless my partner and I get married, and he starts making a significant income (he's a successful music producer with a lot of earning potential). We could probably source help from both of our parents for a down payment should the opportunity present itself.
Any advice and criticisms are highly welcomed. Thanks y'all

Hey all!
I'm currently running a 5800x3D (new cpu) on an 8 year old mobo and PSU.
I am looking to upgrade some components to get better performance but I'm in a bit of a bind and im looking for advice.
With my current setup I don't know if I can actually fit a 4080 inside of my case. If I could I would more than likely buy one.
I'm faced with the choice of upgrading to a 4070 or 4070 ti (size permitting) and just keeping my current setup.
Or
Purchasing a 4080 and having to purchase a new case (and more than likely PSU just because I'll be rebuilding my current setup anyways).
I have a 4K 144hz display so I would like to get the most out of that. I also stream and record videos for youtube occasionally as well.
So my question for you folks do I settle for a 4070 for now, or upgrade the necessary parts to fit a 4080.. or do I wait until next gen with it being around the corner.
I do have money in hand but I would like to get the most out of my purchase over the next 4-5 years. To put it into perspective a 4080 is still 1300-1500+ tax CAD which is fairly steep for a graphics card these days.
Any help is appreciated!

I’m getting my first credit card that I’ll have to be paying off myself and wanted some suggestions. So only just realized but I had a credit card for certain things that my dad would pay off but only now understand that that’s been building my credit this whole time. So technically I’ve had a credit card for 6ish years and my score is 740. Just graduated no debt and starting a job making 78k in Florida in a couple of weeks. Main things I’m looking for is best perks whether it be points or cash back on a card. I plan to have autopay on and don’t have any super big purchases planned for the foreseeable future, also living at home so I’ll probably start off saving a good bit of my money. Also don’t think I’ll be traveling tooo much but eventually plan to.

Say my credit card limit is 15k and I want to buy a car for 40k. Can I just pay enough money into the card so that it has the equivalent of 40k (which is over the limit) and then purchase the car with my credit card? I know they can cap the points but this is the most convenient way I can think of to pay for it. Don’t wanna go to a bank to get the cash.

Do you know if it would be worth it in general or do you think just buying physical releases for the switch would just be more viable in the long run?

(This might be a weird post but I hope you will welcome it).
(I’ve been unemployed and dealing with a lot of poor executive functioning in everyday life. On top of that, I had a family tragedy/unexpected death four months ago. Not currently medicated for my ADD and my sleep is out of whack due to my menopause).
Ok, I have had a bag of retail returns ($$$) I’ve needed to make for four months sitting on my office floor. I think about it everyday. It’s been on my to do list for these four months. Literally haunting me. The return amount equaling $300+ but have had ZERO motivation to make them. Needed to find tags, re-attach some of the tags, find receipts, research which credit card I used, including ones now defunct, also find digital receipts for the ones I do not have paper ones. Ya feel me? (It felt like the equivalent of looking at a crime scene bulletin board of all those complicated lines drawn to and fro!).
One would think I’d be rushing to get that money back since the sand is running out of my bank account quickly. But no. I’m simply not motivated by money. And with little dopamine I’ve just been procrastinating about it.
But a sequence of events happened yesterday. I went to a community art class. Got outta my head and did art. Met a friend who I really energetically and emotionally connected with on ‘anxiety and general life’ struggles. I had a healthy lunch. I called my elderly mother’s elder care facility and had a validating conversation with my mom’s nurse expressing my concerns about her care (a call I was stressing about). They were super compassionate and listened. And then…. I effing whipped that return package together and drove to said retailer and got it done!!! I believe this was on the heels of several dopamine hit experiences. I could still care less about the money. But I feel so “cleansed” and accomplished. Those purchases were unnecessary and the bag of them have also been a reminder of my impulsive spending … and my shame about that…
(I know this is just a validating example of why I need to get back on ADD meds. And an appt is on the books.)
I wanted to share this story. I’ve talked with my therapist about it. And today I finally got to celebrate it with her in my session. I know all days can’t go like this … in fact today was one of those (ugh days). I woke up late and was late to therapy. 🤦🏻‍♀️
Thanks for listening 🙏

Has anyone used an N26 card in Japan for withdrawing cash or making payments? I'm visiting this Summer and would like to know about any experience with using the card in ATMs and for purchases. Are there any tips or things to watch out for?
Thanks.

I just purchased a 2018 F250 6.2L Gas with an inoperable AC system, 74k miles. I have no prior history on the vehicle, besides the fact it was totaled at one point due to front end collision and repaired.
I drew vacuum, and let the AC system sit for 90 minutes with no vacuum loss. Gauges showed no pressure to begin.
I added one can of r134a so far, and the compressor kicked on and it started blowing cold air, so all good there. I need to run to the store and get more r134a.
My question is: without knowing the history, should I add more PAG oil, or leave it alone? The system has no leaks, so I'm not sure why it didn't have any refrigerant or pressure. I don't know if any components were replaced or not everything looks clean in OEM. What would you do?
