It is difficult to say exactly what anyone else should do; however, if you are following these bitcoin threads, then you must recognize value in bitcoin, and accordingly, your goal should be to live with your means and spend your fiat within your means, and accumulate BTC.  If you are struggling to make ends meet, then maybe you can only afford to store away $10 per week of bitcoins, and that is likely what you should be doing until you accumulate enough BTC.  With any investment, you gotta set the money aside and attempt to forget about it while it is in its accumulation stages.  And, accordingly, you gotta get your life in sufficient order that you can afford to put aside a meaningful amount on a regular basis and not be tempted to touch that part that you set aside because you have other systems in place regarding your living expenses, etc.  It can take many years to build up an investment fund, but if you recognize bitcoin as valuable, maybe you could appreciate a lot of value in 10 years if you begin right away to establish a sound system that allows you to accumulate bitcoin and spend fiat for your other living expenses..
