That’s a daring thing you said to be honest.
In 2020, i have almost lost 1000$+ worth of Bitcoins in Gambling only. If I would have saved it today I would have got the thrice of the amount.

Moreover coming to the salary thing mentioned by you, then if i were you, i wouldn’t have done it.
It’s better to keep the salary for your family or in a savings account as who knows whenever you might need some quick cash in hand.
Yes if your salary is more than enough then you can surely invest a small part of it as an investment.

Hope this new year brings happiness to everyone’s life.
Happy New Year.
