Given your age and low budget I think you’re currently a poor candidate for a transplant. A couple years of medication and saving will give you a drastically better result imo.
I started fin a couple weeks ago. What's your idea of a starting price for a HT?

First things first, you are at a 'dangerous' age for hair loss. Many men's loss triggers at around 27-28 and there's no telling how far it's going to progress.
Have you been losing a lot of hair lately? Or has your hairline been receding 'quietly' let's say? Are you on medication to stop further loss?
In general it's considered pretty unwise to get a procedure at this point as you are only just beginning to lose your hair (if you are, you may actually have a mature hairline that looks perfectly fine at this point) and you could do more damage or end up requiring a second or third procedure to catch up with any further loss.
I know it's the hardest advice to listen to, but patience and medication are your two friends right now.I can see what you mean by dangerous age and not wanting to jump the gun if does recede further.
There used to be loads of hairs on my pillow and in nearly a dozen in my hands in the shower but my hair loss has tapered off over the last year and basically stagnated.
I started taking finasteride a couple of weeks ago without any problems. but from my reading it only helps stem hair loss and improve thinning areas in good cases but not really help regrow with recessed areas.
I've had a mature hairline since like 19, but the problem is I have pretty strong "cows lick" on the front sides and in combination with the widows peaks that have increased over years it no longer looks like a mature hairline. No matter how I try to style it the directionality always reveals the widows peaks now, since the hair there is gone.

I'm 27 and probably going back to do my Masters so 3k would be my limit for the next few years money wise if I went ahead with a HT.
My hair is pretty directional at the front, so since the corners are going if I grow it out it falls forward and to the side exacerbating my receding hairline.
Looking at my pictures do you think I could get a HT for under 3k, estimated graft count?
My main question is, does the required graft amount/ Norwood level change the decision if one should risk going to a cheaper place/hair mill?
How critical is it to shave your recipient area for a 2,000 graft frontal FUE?

If you get a buzzcut now then the contrast won't quite so jarring apart from the probably still red recipient area.
