Honestly on a budget your best bet is to get a midi controller and hook it up to your computer as a soft synth. You'll be able to do a lot more even though it might take a bit of setup. It's hard to get a good hardware synth at such a low price but you can get a relatively good controller -- some even come with Ableton Lite.

Yea a cheap controller like an Akai MPK Mini is a good place to start. There are great free DAWs like Studio One or GarageBand that you can use with soft synths. I highly recommend Serum as a soft synth to learn from because it’s extremely visual.

Don’t forget vital for a free and I think open source clone of serum
