DCA Life Hack - pay yourself to do things for yourself, in bitcoin

I bought hair clippers a few months back to cut my son’s hair at home. I spend $50 a month to get my hair cut; $40 cut, $10 tip. Today I cut my own hair and bought $50 worth of bitcoin.

This can be applied often if you start pinching pennies.

Auto: Car dealership recommends a new air filter and they charge $72 for the service. Buy the air filter on Amazon for $50, install it yourself and buy $22 worth of bitcoin.

Like a clean car? A clean car is a happy car after all. Spend one wash worth of cost on the materials to do it at home and pay your self to do it instead of someone else’s business.

Food: If you buy lunch or dinner often, replace some of these meals with premade/meal-prep solutions and spend the savings on bitcoin.

Instead of buying that cake for a loved ones birthday, bake it at home. It costs a fraction of the amount leaving you with surplus to buy bitcoin. A bonus comes with the loved one appreciating the home made cake more as you took time out of your day to do something nice for them.

Enjoy going to the bar? Pregame at home and save boatloads on the bar tab, on the drinks and the expected tip. Walk in already filled with liquid courage rather than pay top dollar for it.

Since you are already spending this amount of money on a regular basis with current spending habits, you will not notice a shortage of funds to pay bills and enjoy your life. However, in a few years you will have more value to tap for life improvements, if you are willing to sell by then. Make sure to pay yourself at the time of service. This creates a DCA and you won’t forget to allocate later.

Stay humble, stack sats. ????
