Yeah, I remember the days before I bought my first oscilloscope. It's like being in the dark and not being able to see.
I shopped around, went to hamfests, etc. Eventually found a nice little 10 mHz scope made by BK Precision. I paid 70 bucks for it, and it is still a reliable workhorse. It is not very fancy, but it is dual trace. You'll be amazed how much easier things are when you have an oscilloscope and can see stuff such as a 555 output.
