1998 Buick Regal 6 cyl Automatic

I have a 98 Buick Regal Super Charge. I havnt really had any problems with it starting until this morning when it would not turn over. I know its not the battery, the lights don't dim and all the lights shine bright, no weird dying beep or anything. Instead of starting it just "tick-tick-ticks" and never even tries to turn over.
I have had the worst turn of luck as of late, so the money situation is tight.. I'd need to get it towed anywhere to get it fixed if its not something I can do myself.
Any suggestions as to what I can do.. Does it sound like it is the starter?? To me thats what I think. But I'm having some other people throw doubts my way and I dont have the money to just fix random things right now. HELP!

Think your right about starter. The click is solenoid and the lights not dimming means starter motor is inop.
