Decided to sell my Cardano holdings to pay for Christmas; It's not always about the long game.

Wasn't sure if I should post this, figured I'd go for it. Decided to sell off my Cardano holdings + gains this past year to pay for Christmas. I'm a single-income household with an 18-month old, so making ends meet isn't the easiest. My wife and I were DINK's for 10+ years, so we've always put the future & ourselves first. It's been rough since our daughter was born and we wanted to provide an awesome Christmas for her this year, and selling our holdings was the only way.

I guess if there's something to "learn" here, is that regardless of how much we love the gains & holding through the storm, don't forget about your loved ones & the memories you could make with what you already have. It's not always about the long game.

EDIT: Thank you all for the responses, from all angles. We have plenty in savings / investments / assets for the future, cashing out our crypto stake just made the most sense out of all options... so no, we didn't go from "10+ year DINKs to broke in 18 months". We also understand an 18 month old wont remember this Christmas... obviously. We just wanted to continue a happy foundation vs trying to scrape by the holidays with what we DO have. Once again, thank you all for the different perspectives.
