we need to make sure we have enough funds set aside for both investments and other expenses.
To be honest, I'm not trying to say the other part of your comments which I removed are totally wrong but the bold part of your comment seems wrong because it sounds like one must save to invest with the money same money they saved (correct me if I'm wrong here). It also seems like you are trying to say that if one doesn't have a stable income they shouldn't invest yet, which is misleading. Truth is that if you save money before you invest you might end up not investing at all because you will want to save up to a certain amount before you start and you might end up procrastinating in the future (today, tomorrow) and it might take forever before you get started. One is certain that you might definitely miss out some good opportunities from the market.
One thing I'm sure of is that if you are waiting for things to be 100% okay or let's say too perfect (which is always not) you will never learn early, so it's better to start buying Bitcoin with the little money you have on your discretionary income, and same time try to understand your cash flow more and also create opportunity for other side hustle if you have the opportunity to do so.
I guess you don't remember that saving alot of money without investing with it will reduce its worth, because inflation will definitely affect your savings in no distant time. However, I guess only fear can make an investor to save money instead of investing with it but truth be told that inflation will affect it.
Maybe its not exactly about saving,
but rather about having a reserve fund or an emergency fund first. I are right but the bold part of your comments seems wrong to me though because if a beginner should wait until they set up money for emergency in other for things to be perfect before they start, they might end up waiting forever because things doesn't just work that way. As an investor what's important is starting immediately so long as you already have a source to provide money for yourself and from the money you are making through your source of income you can actually figure out your discretionary income and then start stacking Bitcoin from your discretionary income. So what I'm trying to say here is that waiting for things to be perfect will eventually delay someone from buying Bitcoin, so they just need to start buying Bitcoin with their spare money which is also known as their discretionary income.
But that doesnt mean you have to save up first before investing,
This looks more like you are contradicting yourself because from the first bold part of your statement you said this
but rather about having a reserve fund or an emergency fund first
And now you are also saying that beginners shouldn't save before investing in Bitcoin. By the way that's true but your first comment seems very wrong.
From my little knowledge so far I believe that savings, reserve funds and emergency funds are similar because they are just money which will be used during an unexpected financial or none financial challenges (cuz money solves 95% of challenges.
But to start investing, you dont have to save first,
That's right.
So what I mean is that having an emergency fund is important before starting to inves it can be very helpful, and even if we dont invest having this emergency fund is still important.
No doubt about the fact that even this someone is not a Bitcoin investor they still need savings. But honestly, let's think of the fact that everyone is not the same because not everyone has savings, but if they eventually gets interest to invest into Bitcoin and they have a source of income, they should get started immediately and while they are investing they can literally learn the importance of having or let's say saving for an emergency.
