Of course, investment should not be forced if it interferes with your other needs. Welfare is not only measured by how much money you have, but of course your quality of life must also be good even if the investment is not much. The same goes for work, you should not be enslaved by work. You have to take a break because again, money is not everything in life even though life requires money.
As long as you are able to invest, regardless of the amount
[a little or a lot] then do it to the best of your ability. 5% - 10% of your total income doesn't matter even if you can't always maintain consistency, because the most important thing is that you have it.
As we can put it, money is just only one of the facets how we survive on this world. But it is not the ultimate reason for living. We have other means to survive and with this in mind, we need to take care of our mental and physical health. There's nothing wrong if our savings or investments is small. As long as we are happy and contented with our own lives, that's much better than worrying too much that we don't have.
