Using a Tv for a monitor will be horrible, The resolution will be low and it'll be unconformable Although it would be an ok second monitor.

Get a summer job, you can get enough money for a decent gaming rig if you work. Ask your parents if they'll let you borrow some money and tell them you will pay them back by the end of the summer. Btw paintball gets really expensive after a while. Use of field + paint= around $50-60 per visit. Unless you play in the woods or something.

Oh, do they have like fast food joints or anything around. Just go asking around if anyone will hire you. Even though I don't really recommend working at Mc'Donalds or something along those lines.
