personally, i'd say if you're not good at up keep, get something like a reptile instead. but thats just me.
there's less maintenance, and you can populate the tank with bark, rocks and things you collect and wont cost you as much.
if you're adamant about getting fish, try you're luck with goldfish first. theres no use getting a whole school of saltwater fish along with all the shebang and then realise that having a tank isnt for you.
try with a goldfish or two for a month or two and see how you feel about the upkeep. once you're certain about what you want, you can decide to get rid of the fish or get some more. goldfish are relatively inexpensive, so use them as your starting point, and it wont cost you much to set up.
things to consider are:
the size of your tank
whetehr you intend on salt/freshwater fish
upkeep
food
pumps and other tank ancilleries
theres a wealth of knowledge online, so Dr Google is your best bet
