I know how you feel. When I started playing I was trying to pay for college at the same time.
I think it helps to really realize what you need and what you don't.
Do not buy a nice stick. You won't know how to use it.
Buy one piece at a time over time, if you really want to play.
With skating, try to play a game at the lowest level of wherever you're going to play. I played in the beginner league at my local roller rink. Thankfully, it is pretty slow. That will help you really gauge if you're a terrible skater or not. Who knows, you might be underestimating yourself!
I had a little experience skating before I started, but after a year of playing in the low league, I started getting faster and have moved up two levels since then.
In terms of back to equipment, I would try
Hockey Overstock
I just purchased a nice stick from there (now that I know how to shoot), and it came the next day with simple UPS shipping!
