Normally this is very sound advice. But in the case of owning a Huffy, the first and much more important priority is to locate and acquire a real bike that was designed and constructed to be ridden. The Huffy already performed the only job it was ever intended to do when the initial purchaser paid money for it. After that, it's best for it to be recycled immediately into something possibly useful.

Not everyone can afford a more expensive bike at the time of purchase; therefore they get a cheaper bike at first, figure out the kind of riding they want to mostly and also their future wants/needs and then they buy a better bike later when finances allow it.
