Finally got everything ready to order my first PCB! 
Took me a while to design everything and generate the files in the correct format, find the parts that I want... but I'm finally at the final ordering step.
I know I'll probably mess up something, but I can just keep trying and learn from my failures. At €1.70 a piece (or 5 pieces, the minimum order amount), I can just keep ordering them until I get it right. 
And by ordering an assembled PCB, I can make sure that any issues that arise are part of my design and not my shitty soldering skills. 
Assembly cost: €76.89
Actually, scratch that... I'm going to have to think this through

I've got some tips from some coworkers that might help me drop the price. Hopefully that will be enough.
Otherwise, it's time to learn how to solder 
@JD557 nice, I got my iron last week, now in the gathering courage phase. First goal is a 4 key macropad
@JD557 what are you building?
