So I think the title explains everything pretty well, I have only 70 bucks to get everything I need to start soldering. I don't mind chinese knockoffs but I want something that feels decent as I doubt I am going to upgrade soldering stations anytime soon. (I don't have very much money and this is a big purchase for me)
So my parts list / needs are as follows:
Soldering station
Desoldering wick
Solder
and maybe some better / more useful tips?
So far I have been eyeing up the hakko 936 knock off by aoyue as a good starting point. (link:

But thats as far as I've gotten really.
I am mainly buying this to do simple solder work while building my way up to more complicated stuff. Mainly want to get around to soldering a 3ds to do a nand dump but I am not trying that until I am confident I won't be destroying anything. (the pads for a 3ds nand dump are about 0.3mm)
So to give you guys a better idea of what I am eventually hoping to do here is a picture of the solder points along with a finger for scale.
ignore the blue wire I won't need to use that point, the ones I will be using look like the gold pads
