Car wont start

Hello, I have a 1990 Honda Civic....my car wont turn over...it struggles and then doesnt turn...I did notice the past few times I tried to start the car it struggled a little bit but always turned over....now not....I am not sure when I got the battery but dont think it is too old...thinking it is the starter....if this is the case...do u think i could get a jump and it would start or not because it is the starter and that would only work if it was the battery ??? I was also wondering if u knew the cost of a new starter....i am broke and have no idea how much this will cost.

I also have another problem with my front driver side wheel...it sounds like a scraping noise....not the brakes...we tried to replace them and they are ok...i think it is the hub bearing...it made that sound once before and i think that was it....do u know what the sound is for hub bearing and how much that might cost ?

Help! I am starting to think I should just get rid of this car.

At AutoZone, the starter motor is $80 (after core) and the front wheel bearing is $50. Front wheel bearing removal/installation is somewhat involved and requires special tools (FWD Front Wheel Bearing Adapter, Harbor Freight, #66829, $79.99).

. Remove and fully charge the battery. AutoZone will do this for free. Don't jump start the battery--too much chance of a voltage spike damaging the ECM, alternator, or sensors.

. Check all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:
