Is a passphrase enough to store your coins? (alien.top)

I always read about public keys,private keys and speedphrases that you need to store them in a paper wallet or hardware wallet. The only thing I ever stored are the passphrases (those 12 or 24 words) I get from metamask or other wallet provider in the beginning of creating a wallet. Is this enough when I write them down and secure them?

Damn yes I remember. I read about the leak. But Trevor is almost twice the price. I can't spend almost $200 for a hardware wallet. Do you know any cheaper and secure wallets?

Also Trezor Model one price is only $48 USD, I think you saw their top model

Curious why it is too much for something you'd keep using for 10 years or more (I've had mine since 2017) then it might be a good idea to reconsider crypto, it's well worth foregoing a night on the town or whatever alternative you would spend $200 on.
