I just started DCAING into bitcoin some months ago with the purpose of becoming a long term holder, I've got my funds in place, I've done my cashflow check up, I've started building my emergency funds, I'm following all the rules that I think I need to follow to reach my goals as long term holder. But guess what happened yesterday?.
I used the money I was supposed to use to lump sum into bitcoin to buy a game. Lame right, very lame.
Buying a game is not lame like you think because game is for leisure and a good part of your needs. Rather than see the decision as lame, see it as a motivation to set up emergency fund as this is what the emergency fund is for, unexpected needs that do come up sometimes.
While a lot of persons would talk down on me right now about this cause I know I've messed up and was supposed to say no to that urge to just spend more. Although I've replaced it today with a lot of hard work.
No one have the right to talk down on you because of your decision. It is your money so you have rights to spend it as you desire. What we can only do is to make suggestions which are still up to you to consider. You don't have to beat yourself up because you committed no crime. Like I said before, just set up emergency funds and things like this will not happen again.
You could also revisit your DCA budget if it is too high, then you can make the necessary adjustments to enable you follow it while enjoying your life.
