If you live rurally, you could probably get by on the amount you could get on upwork as an HTML-jockey

highly unlikely.
you have zillions of indians and pakistanis who are full stack devs to compete with who know their stuff and will work for $5/hr

I know. I sometimes hire them. But always as the very last option. I also get outsourced work where I pitch myself as "I am not Indian" and "I am perfectly fluent in the English language". Also, $5 per hour is what we are talking about as "get by" in a rural setting. I guessed that the OP had enough web-skills since he talked about skin-tones as "#FFFFFF". Or maybe he has enough skills to work with Photoshop.

But as the other people here said, 2K is probably not enough to get started, with the unavoidable 'Vietnamese girl walked away with my computer' mishap that will probably befell the OP within the first week.
