The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
I tend to buy used, though I would like to have a new car at some point. I was pretty impressed with the 2022 Mazda CX-30 my wife had. It seemed to me like Mazda has the right idea in that it was just... a well made car. Nothing fancy really, but I want a car that gets the basics right and doesn't try to be high tech. I will definitely consider a Mazda for whenever my Mustang bites the dust.
Yeah I can second this -- we drove quite a lot of cars in the 'lightly used' and 'new on the lot' categories a couple of years ago, and ended up with a nice Mazda. In some ways nicer that the 'budget' euro models, and something like 20-30k less money. No problems a year in, decent fuel economy, and I kind of like driving it.
