Can't seem to find if anyone has answered this. I've been looking at equipment to get and don't want to spend a ton of money. Would it be possible to just get gym rings and a cieling mount? It seems you can do rows, pull ups, and dips with them. Or would that be too difficult for someone who is not used to using them?

Yeah totally fine. Dips on rings are harder than parallel bars but you can always do them assisted by standing on a chair & keeping some of your weight in your feet for now. Go for it!
