The OP wired a jade tree and cut off the branches and is now very very eager to repot it. In other words: He just started. He's still terribly impatient. He's the plant killer that we've all been.
I cannot recommend buying a bonsai at all. I'd buy some cheap garden center junipers to practice on.

Agree. Mine was to be intended as a defense of good online bonsai stores, not as a suggestion to the OP.
I also suggest(ed) starting with cheap stock first of all. It looks simple, but it takes a few years of experience to get the type of skill and confidence to step to the next level.
For that, I also very vehemently suggest following the courses available right here...
They’d cost you like a plant but would possibly help saving many

With the correct aftercare, your plant will be ok. Just dont take it as it is possible to do the same thing to most trees

one can go to a exhibition and buy a much older and nicer tree for half that price. that is ridiculous. i feel bad for anyone that would spend that much money on that.

You do get service, though not everyone thinks that service is good.
