What jimsom said.
When I was a kid (back in the Dark Ages when there was no internet, no computers, and color TV was a novelty) I was a newly licenced ham radio operator. I built many of the necessities myself, but even then components, PC boards, tubes (yes tubes), wire, and solder cost money. I did not expect my parents to support my "habit" so I did everything I could to make my own cash.
Mowing lawns paid good (even WAY better now), raking leaves, planing strawberries at local farms in the Spring, babysitting, and doing manual labor for the neighbors (I used to bust up concrete with a sledge hammer for $2.15 an hour) brought cash back then and still does.
Being that you are computer savvy, you can type up and print school reports for other students, make simple web sites..all pay ok but it all adds up.
Hone your skills vs the offline AI and practice bombing and divebombing offline while you earn your way to your own AH. Last I heard HTC offered some sort of discount incentive for buying 6 months in advance with a check or money order.
Good luck and I hope to see you in game.
