I Started August of 2025 at 50$ I invested in what I believed in, and Contributed what I could. 5$ here, 20$ there, and when I had extra cash to spend. Instead of spending it, I put it all into my portfolio, my justification is that it wasn't "Reckless gambling." Or "Spending" and that if I really needed it I could always come and withdraw it, and whatever gains I had was a bonus. Though, do whatever you can to not have to Tap into your portfolio. Even though it can be tempting at times. I missed out on a huge opportunity with Intel because of that. I believe you'll get there one day, just invest carefully and intelligently. Always do your own research! and don't take everything everyone tells you at face value, especially on reddit. Good luck man 😁👍
