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'm probably buying a new car this weekend. The 2007 Toyota Corolla has accrued more repairs than it's presently worth. Still drivable, but soon won't be, though it has earned itself 273k miles in its honorable time served.
So, got any car recommendations? Do you buy new, or lightly used? Hybrids worth looking at? If your car right now was summoned to the great car dealership in the sky right now, and you had to buy a new car, what kind of budget is sensible? Are you an old person who makes good car decisions, or a young enlisted man who makes horrible car decisions? I will refuse to listen to you, either way. But I still want to read your replies about car recommendations.
I am seriously debating buying a used Tesla, possibly after joining the retards drawing swastikas on them to lower the price.
Anyone have any experience with them? It's not my type of car, I just want something cheap and electric for local use that I can use excess noon solar on.
They're awesome. But I now can't stand driving ICE vehicles after owning an EV.
Could you explain why? I'm driving an ancient car into the ground, but I'm going to need a new car (or two, depending where my oldest goes to college) in the next couple years, and I'm still struggling with both "new vs used" (one of our current cars was new, one was used, and the tradeoffs seem to change with warranty policies and market fluctuations) and with "EV vs ICE".
We're in the exact same situation. My '92 Ford really wants to die, but I haven't given it permission yet
