I'm an old guy, survived what is called economical crisis several times. Both on society and personally. In my opinion you are doing it right.
Doesn't matter if you save either 100 or 1000 USD, the important thing is to start and keep that discipline. I keep money across different methods, crypto is one of them. But so are fiat, land properties and other passive income methods.
Having money on the bank account has been a life saver. Not just for me, but also to my family whenever they were hit with something unexpected.
