I learned not to invest with money I can't afford to lose
💸 When I discovered cryptocurrencies, I felt I was facing a unique opportunity. I started investing more than I should have, even part of the money intended for my fixed expenses.
Everything was going well… until a series of problems started.
A sudden bear market and a bad decision left me without liquidity just when I needed it the most.
🎯 That blow taught me a golden rule:
Only invest what you can afford to lose and what does not put the rest of your finances at risk.
Now I separate my personal finances into three categories:
✅ Needs (rent, food, health)
🔁 Emergency savings (untouchable)
🎯 Risk capital (I use it for investments like crypto)
🧠 Financial peace of mind is more important than any temporary "pump."
