- I turned my apartment into a shared one, meaning I got a flatmate and used the money paid to buy more Bitcoins.
- No more buying new clothes, shoes, phones, or electronic devices. No more eating out. I'll cook all my meals. The money saved will be used to buy more Bitcoins.
- This month, I'm selling off my car and I'll start using the train for commuting to work or any other essential place. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, my social life is going to suffer for a little while. This delay of gratification is worth it.
- I didn't renew my gym membership. I purchased some dumbbells and barbells to start working out from home. The money supposed to be spent on the gym membership will be used to buy more Bitcoins.

Some people sell their lands and houses to travel to another country where they feel is more comfortable and where the pasture is more greener. When they travel to their dream country, they spend some years there and plan to build another, knowing too well they already sold house and land to travel.
I brought this example because of OP. The essence of investment and investment in bitcoin is to live a comfortable life and Op is privileged to live a comfortable life, instead of trying to remain comfortable, he decided to starve himself and change drastically his lifestyle and in the end he will still need to buy another car and try to be comfortable again.
Humans arrive at their destinations in different ways and most times we do wired things in a normal way.
