The second part of "just start," is "and allow yourself to suck."
It's a hobby.
For electronics you need a multi-meter.
Get the cheapest one.
If you must shop, get the cheapest one that beeps upon continuity.
Buy a "300 piece" electronics kit for $20.
Buy a $15 soldering iron.
Then you will have everything you need to start if electronics is actually something you want to do...versus electronics being an idea you like to have.
Again, expect to suck and to fail if you do it because that is what learning something new feels like.
