There are plenty of cheap bike upgrades that will make your ride more comfortable or improve its performance, without buying a new bike or making a big ticket change like wheels or a groupset. 

There's a tendency to see one of the best road bikes or a new set of wheels as the panacea to solve all your current bike's deficiencies, but in reality, small changes can make a big difference, even if it's not obvious that your current componentry is subpar. They needn't cost a fortune either.
