Like what was shared in your earlier threads, the MSF is highly recommended, but it's not necessarily the only method to learn. Many of those on the site learned in various ways - including many years ago when beginner riding training may not have even available.
But - there's no cheap, easy, no-risk way to do this. You say you can't afford MSF as the primary reason, but if that's the real impediment to you riding - you probably don't have the financial ability to be riding anyway. In your earlier threads, you quoted the MSF course at $300, and have described that as a small fortune. How much do you have budgeted for a new bike? How much for repairs if you're buying an older bike that likely will need some? How much for appropriate riding gear, now that you have hit the pavement 3 times already and know that it might not be the last? How much for insurance not only on the bike itself, but for medical/disability/life insurance if you have any dependents at all that would be impacted by another accident on your bike?
