Feasibility of getting a post 2020 ford mustang or dodge challenger without getting fleeced

Hi lads,

I'm 23 and currently on a about 28k a year but will go up to 50-60k next year when I finish my training contract. I'll also have my debts paid off due to an inheritance.

I know I probably should put it in savings but I'd love to own a nice car in my 20's and I love the look of these cars. I don't want to import and it looks like Ford has dealers in rieland particularly shield which seems to do them if I wanted to get an irish registered one would the irish dealers have any.

If not I'll get a miatta for about 23-27k and call it a day. if im a fool please let me know because don't want to make a mistake either.

Starting gym - running into issues with squats for barbell

Hi im a 23m and I've just started the gym and a friend was going through the machines with me but he recommended composite exercises like barbells and weights rather than machines as they trained multiple muscles.

Only issue is I can't squat talked to the pt there and he said it could be a balance issue. Only thing I can think of is I have dyspraxia and I had clubfoot and had to get my ankle operated on as a baby so think i got some ankle tendons moved/removed.

If it is dyspraxia wjat would be the best way to work on my balance because I really want to be able to squat to do the barbell and weight exercises properly and not injure myself.

I've heard working on strenghting your leg muscles could work, or perhaps adapting the way I do squat/exercises. If none of this is possible could I work solely on the machines?

Any advice is appericated, because I'm kinda unsure where to start at the moment. I thought I would try this sub-reddit because it's likely your facing similar challenges to be with balance.

Kinda want to vent

I wouldnt ussually post but im kind of angry and want to vent.

Bassically im kind of annoyed with how my life is going - i dont really expect someone to give me a magical awnser that solves all my issues i just wanted to know if anyone genuinely is going through something similar.

Im 23(m) from Ireland and i have managed to get an accoutning job which im happy with - its just anytime i talk to anyone (colleagues/clients) it seems their getting extremely well socially like going on holidays with friends, drinking and most people i meet have girlfriends (hits hard ngl). When im on social media I also see similar stuff with old childhood friends and stuff and its kind of hard - it makes me feel like and im not being overdramatic but that everyone seems to be better than me or that i feel inferior to most people i meet (best way of putting it).

I love when i get home to my room (i know it might sound sad to some readers) but i really do I feel safe where i dont have to be careful in social terms and can be more relaxed and like myself. I love playing video games, I watch anime and its all a great distraction. But then when i check insta or facebook or think about going back to work i automatically start thinking about the stuff above again or if its like Friday or Saturday evening i will suddenly start thinking about people out partying while im at home in my room doing who knows what ( i know im making it sound silly but it kind of does genuinely hit me hard).

I just really want to know if there is anyone out there like me - does anyone like me exist becuase i think knowing that would help me. I would really like to change ive been trying to for the last 10 years its getting really tough but it would really help to know if there are peopel out there going through the same thing - becuase it doesnt really seem like that in public and i kind of feel im bottom of the barrell.

finally im 100% going to keep on going i plan to live a long life Im going to go back to my soccer and stuff and try to make a better effort in work and stuff so i really dont want to come off as really negative becuase im not i still find a lot of happiness in life but this is just one minor area that i am struggling in and im just genuinely curious if anyone else is going through similar experiences. However if this is the way its supposed to be then so be it - maybe i am introverted or just socially awkward and im pushing myself to much - I can live with it find other interest and stuff.

Thanks for reading this btw - i kind of rambled a bit but i thought this was the best way to express my thoughts.
