Ive thought about torrents but they require a paid vpn from what i know? I dont really want to pay, which is why im thinking about piracy because im not made of money and cant afford a vpn. Im just not sure if its possible to be safe and sail the seven seas all for free?

What would you advise i do? what did you do when starting out?

Why do you need a VPN? If authorities want to go after you they can figure out what you are doing from traffic pattern analysis, they don't need to read the information being transmitted. If it's about the letters provierss send sometimes, if they send you one, find a new provider, or worry about a VPN then.

All VPNs do is give you the illusion of being protected while taking your money. They will not deter a determined attacker or the authorities, not that torrenting would be a big deal anyways.

Some VPNs like Mullvad have the option of padding out the flow of data to thwart traffic analysis, at the expense of speed.
