Have you thought about the token that you will make in what field? do you also have a team, website, whitepaper etc.? if you are new I don't think you know anything so I suggest you to learn first instead of wasting money
Don't be in a hurry to make your own coins, everyone knows that it will be very risky if you push yourself especially without sufficient knowledge of coin management, and I agree with what you said that it will just be a waste of time.
