Start in a simulator. A radio controller plus an FPV simulator costs far less than broken parts, and the skills transfer directly.
Buy ready-to-fly if you want to be in the air quickly and are not interested in electronics yet. A ducted cinewhoop-style drone is forgiving and survives crashes.
Build if you want to understand your drone and repair it yourself. You will crash, and knowing how it goes together saves a lot of money.
Many pilots do both: a ready-to-fly drone first, then a build once they know what they like.
In the US, flying with goggles means you need a visual observer standing next to you who keeps the drone in sight.
