The sounds like the best way to get into coding. (For me it was wanting to realize game ideas to entertain myself.)

Money for a computer when I was getting into it was the credit-card part of it — there were no cheap Chromebooks then. (A student loan took care of the $1200 or so I needed for a Macintosh Plus.)

I suspect that's always the way of it though. There will be an easier way throwing money at a thing and there will be the "programming finds a way" way.
