Making music is a bit of an expensive hobby
You can get by on minimal investment, you don't need top of the line gear by any means. The biggest investment is your dedication to the work you put in. At the end of the day what's all that big money gear for if you have no talent?

I'm planning on taking a class about Ableton Live 9 next year through my university.
Ableton Live is extremely user friendly, you can learn and become pretty efficient just by messing around and trying new things. A simple how to guide should be enough to teach you the basics, that's all you really need. For the advanced stuff, youtube usually works well. By all means take the class if it's free but if you're already using it you should know most of the stuff they will teach you already.
