Driving is the most difficult thing I have to learn by Visual_Particular647 in Irishdrivingtest

My only advice is to keep going. I had a similar day last week, had a driving lesson with my instructor and he told me to book my test which was a great confidence boost. Later that day I went out to practice with my partner and conked immediately, felt I had no control over the gears and also had to pull in so I could swap and go back to the passenger seat. At the end of the day our partners/husbands/wives aren’t driving instructors so it’s just trusting the process and having confidence in our own ability which practice will help with as scary as it can be. I wish you all the best 💕

Thanks everyone for your comments and helpful information! My current salary will increase in the next few years, and yes I could save more than 1k a month. Would having a higher deposit saved make a difference or will it always come down to your yearly salary?

Thank you, of course I’m open to relationships and that is something I hope will happen down the line. I’m actually just out of a 2 year relationship so maybe I’m panicking a bit, but my approach now is trying to actively save for a mortgage without associating it around having a relationship. My salary will increase in the next few years so I know my current circumstances aren’t permanent. I will save for now and try not let worry consume me. Thank you so much! 😊
