this is what you need to buy to start soldering (this is what i use and they're all beginner and budget friendly
flux - MG Chemicals - 8341-10ML 8341 No Clean Flux Paste, 10 milliliters Pneumatic Dispenser
https://a.co/d/diXbwGY it says no clean but please still use isopropyl alcohol to clean it so you don't burn out your components or have unexpected voltage jumps
wire - LotFancy 22AWG Stranded Wire, 6 Colors (26 Feet/8 M Each) Electrical Wire, UL Listed, Tinned Copper Hookup Wire Kit 22 Gauge 300V for DIY, Flexible, PVC Insulated
https://a.co/d/4z6HFkg this is what i use for when i need to put a lot of voltage into a board like console or pcb the delivers usb c charging or something
wire2 - Remington Industries 34SNSP.25 34 AWG Magnet Wire, Enameled Copper Wire, 4 oz, 0.0069" Diameter
https://a.co/d/6dhjwMW this is what i normally use for data transferring or less power demanding connections like 3v just make sure to twist the wires with a drill for data transfer
wire strippers - IRWIN VISE-GRIP Wire Stripper, 2 inch Jaw, Cuts 10-24 AWG
https://a.co/d/emSUcoi these are the ones i use and they're very comfortable and have served me well
that's all you really need for right now also you might want a solder sucker or desoldering wick il post some names here not in there own section
Lesnow solder wick braid with flux 10ft Length Desoldering and ENGINEER Engineer Solder Suction Device SS-02 so yeah thats it ill go more in depth in a different post but that's what i bought
to get me started and what i still use just remember it takes practice and patience to learn if you want to start start on dead boards or boards with simple fixes to get comfortable
and buy practice boards so if you're not comfortable working on real hardware you can work on assembly just got to start somewhere
