Nice op. I'm interested in buying a hardware wallet but haven't bought it yet because I don't have a large amount of money to store. The amount of bitcoins I have can be safely stored in a software wallet. However, software wallets are very risky. I think you won't have any trouble using it. I am thinking of ordering one very soon. thanks for sharing this here op. congratulations for your first purchase a hardware wallet
Maybe you can take this as a advantage to learn and know the kind of hardware wallet you should go for when the times comes for you to purchase one, my advice for you is not to buy a ledger brand hardware wallet, instead you can go for Trezor or any other brand, using hardware is not as risky as some other storage alternatives that are hot wallets, you only need to give a maintenance to how you handle a hardware wallet against any form of damage.
Perhaps it can be seen from some open-source hardware wallets.

If one day he has more money and plans to invest more in the long run then hardware will be more effective than storing in a hot wallet.
Actually there is nothing wrong with storing in a hot wallet if they can keep it safe from other hacker attacks, but that is easy to do if it is connected to the internet, in anticipation, hardware is the solution if you want to be truly safe.
