The timing "belt" is a timing chain and never needs replacing.
For the water pump ...... just forgetaboutit ..... no worries.
For $100 you can get Subaru road service for one year, and drive it until it breaks down, will not go, and get it trucked in to your choice repair to repair it.
Or, New World Auto on the north end of Main St in Plymouth has their own tow truck so's just phone New World ...... helloooooo!

It was a 2009 Forester that the head gaskets went on in 2016. Also the drive shaft had to be replaced as the U joint failed. Overall very expensive on a Sub as the engine has to be pulled. That was no baloney unless $1,700 is pocket change to you.
In 2016 a new design head gasket had been in place a few years but not many Subs had 100K miles on that design yet. So the fix was just a promise at that point. Time to move on.
