I did the exact same mistake at the same age.

That was my first and last PCB. Until yesterday that is. I bought one of these 100$ Chinese PCB milling machine. It "works", I guess. I mean, wont do BGA or any fine print anytime soon, but for personal projects, it beats a glorious mess of wires or ducktaped breadboards :P

I don't own one, but the cheapest on AliExpress for me right now is this: [1]. It lists as $130 for me at the moment. I did not do any exhaustive searching, perhaps there are cheaper machines to be found. I know nothing about this particular machine, I've never owned one just wanted to provide an example of what the OP might have.

Neat! I had no idea something like that was available so cheaply.
