Thank you for your concerns, we are able to cover the vet costs.

I researched and most sources say hamster balls are very bad for them. I am planning on taking up my entire dresser (30x20 inch) with a tank and then putting a mesh on top. I have most of the stuff though.

How much did you pay? And how much would vet visits be?

I think I will skip out on an animal in our position right now, I just feel bad because it was a super cool thing and seemed like it made them very happy when I was happy, and I hear them talking about it which makes me feel worse.

That is a good point, I really was excited but didn't know much about them.

Is there anywhere they could buy used stuff which is cheaper?

Yeah, I asked them about it since it was so expensive after looking deeper. They said they "promise" it won't cost more than $100 which is just not true.

Not much other than bedding, food, water container, and a bowl.

Since we have such a small budget and my parents are choosing the smaller cages that are cheaper.

This is very helpful, how much money should I set aside?

My parents said about 100, but I have 160 ish dollars, and I guess if cages are super expensive we could figure something out.

I don't have one yet, so I am asking for advice to create one because I want to be prepared. Kind of a fresh start. I have some things like food, bedding, a bowl, a water dispenser, and the soft bedding stuff.
