Don't ever spend from your cold storage.
If you're not an extremist like me, at least don't spend from your cold storage until you've held your bags for 10 years, and then spend only a minute fraction.
Use the Lightning network to stack and handle expenses. You should be net positive - stack more than you spend - and when your channels fill up, swap out to cold storage and start again.
Once you pass hodl milestones like 10 years, 15 years, 20, 25 etc, you can open up those minute fractions of your cold storage, but be aware you are giving those SATs away and will likely never earn them back. It is ultimate haram of value, to spend from cold storage, but after very long holding periods, do it at your own risk for extremely intelligent and wise investments that are profoundly meaningful for you.
And I say that with a large bag of salt - the proper "Way" is to basically never spend from your cold storage. After years of holding you will spend from lightning only. I think this is the way, but I have much to develop in my wisdom to guide.
I have learned from my mistakes. Your cold storage shouldn't exit your wallet unless you're 10 years deep in the bag.
