Ride until you break stuff, then upgrade what broke or what's limiting you. Logical increments is a great way to live imo.
This doesn't work for mountain biking, because often the limiting factor is something like frame geometry, which means buying a whole bike to change.
The good news is you can get a decent quality used bike for very decent money, and change cheaper components to suit, things like pedals, seat, handlebars etc are very subjective.
I don’t recommend this with brakes ironically enough
Whenever I mess with my bike brakes, I only do one wheel, then a few rides later allow myself to do the other. That way if I botch it I should have another brake that sorta still works.
