Modern can be pretty expensive to get into (I'm in the process of doing it myself) but stuff doesn't rotate, so it ends up saving money if you play for long enough. Affinity is a bit cheaper than other types though cause you don't need fetchlands.
This deck idea is easily 250$ just saying •-•
But you can easily trade $100 or more, if you work on here and with people you know. My commander deck that I put together costs $450 but between trading ($150) and what I had ($100) I was able to put it together for $200. In addition, as Lyriczulu said, you can use the cards forever.

Buying one of each of the cards they have listed is 110$ on its own. So...440$ if you wanted 4 of each card.

Considering some standard decks cost $200+ and some modern decks cost $1000+ it's not that bad, but I hear ya, it's a pretty tough pill to swallow.

True enough. But seeing as how I don't have a way to make money. And no cards anyone would be interested in. :/ I'd have to buy most of if not all of these cards. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Which is why Magic promotes a better society...One of the only reasons I have a job in high school is to support my MTG deckbuilding. Oh, and if you wait until your birthday or Christmas you might be able to get a good chunk of it.

I had a decent artifact deck idea in my precious folder earlier and it was only 30$ most expensive piece being the Darksteel Citadel.

You can definitely make it work on a budget but it just won't be as effective/consistent.

I'm not expecting to win any world tournaments or nothing. Just maybe have something that can win against all my friends and maybe net me a few FNM's

Here is a chart I found on Facebook that I think applies really well to this situation:

A myr deck I made a while ago packed {Tempered Steel}

Unless....... That's not in modern. I have no idea how that works

Seriously lol'd.  I love comedic flow charts, and that's a good one!

{Tempered Steel} is modern legal but it is an older affinity archetype that's not as popular.

Btw modern cards are all cards printed from 8th edition onwards minus those on the ban list.
