If you want to be in a band then join a band! It's as simple as that. If you really want something you should never give up on it. The money from the regular boring job you mention could be used to pay for vocal lessons, or even a new guitar!
Vocal lessons
Learning to sing should not be a problem, regardless of money. If you can afford it vocal lessons are a great way to learn, if not then you can always teach yourself.
Singing at a high volume will be the best way to learn - put your favourite song on and try to match the notes coming out of your voice box with the vocals in the track. This is a method of trial and error and requires hours of practicing; there are also hundreds of free online videos and lessons to help you learn!
Learning Guitar The guitar can be self-taught as well - again, use free online lessons to help your development. Pick a song you want to learn, then look up the guitar tablature for it (it will be online for free!) and play along. Remember, start with a simple song and progressively learn harder ones. Learning the guitar requires a lot of hard work and practice!

- If you want to pay for lessons then carry on with your regular job until you can afford them.
- If not, teach yourself!
- Some of the best vocalists and guitarists of all time have been self taught.
- Learning to sing or to play the guitar requires hours of hard work and practice.
