A sacrifice is something you do for the sake of someone or something else. Buying a financial asset, in order to make your future self wealthier, is an investment, not a sacrifice.

Stop acting all pious about financial investing. That isn't a sacrifice, no matter how much of it, that you buy at once. You wouldn't buy it, if you didn't think it would make you rich. You wouldn't buy lots of it, if you didn't think it would make you fabulously rich.

I have no idea why I am expected to fawn over you because you gambled cleverly. The riches you received are their own reward.

Well, it's a tradeoff at the very least, you're foregoing something today in the expectation that you'll be able to acquire more of them later on with increased value of assets.

But even the safest of assets can crash.

It's a gamble. You are trading something you have now, for something you expect to have later. That's how all investing works.
