Hallo Matt Welcome to the Forum, as Alwyn said this is a hobby that will cost you,
I hear what you say about being employed, but unless you are the Governor of the Bank of England you will still wince at some of the expence,
A loving partner and a rich grand parent are what's required.

As you advance through this hobby you will have questions, please do ask cos we like to show how much we know.
Again welcome, enjoy.
