The rule with any risky investment is that you cover all of your basic necessities first, and plan ahead a bit.
Accordingly, anything you invest is extra money.
Yes, you could take that "extra money" and spend it on a vacation or another investment, but you proportion all of your "extra money" in such a way that hopefully in the end, the various investments grow rather than shrink... and bitcoin is one portion of that total investment package and philosophy. Bitcoin is not the only investment that governing philosophy : "invest no more than you can afford to lose."
In other words, you should not be doing too much if any leveraging with your investments (except maybe to the extent that you are leveraging a variety of investments - rather than leveraging your home or leveraging your next 10 years of income or leveraging your food money).
