What is the easiest and cheapest way for me to host my own forum online and invite people I know to talk? Consider I know very little about hosting, web dev, php, etc. I'm actually interested in doing this! Thanks.

Definitely join a Fediverse (e.g. Lemmy, Mastodon)! You can host an instance, but still "linked" to other instances and communities so you won't feel isolated.
