Buy only what you can afford to lose, don't risk everything for your money if you aren't sure what would the future brings for you.
I think this should be a go to advice for many people, not many people know this or understand this one bit, they all just jump right in because they believe that crypto is easy money and that they will be able to curtail losses until it finally happens.
What you did OP is very inspiring and its even a great move if newbies will start buying bitcoin today before it goes skyrocket. The thought that bitcoin is only for rich people will always create a negative motivation. If you will live with it, then you will never grow as an investor. The middle class or even the poor class will always have the right to invest in bitcoin because its for everyone i think. The price won't really matter. What matters most is how you will manage your investment even if you start it with just a small capital. Take a step one at a time and definitely you'll start seeing your profits continue to grow along with time.
