Always define your needs/style/what you want to do first, always do that FIRST.
ALWAYS. FIRST. Before you listen to what people think, and DEFINITELY before you listen to what manufacturers think.
YOU. DEFINE. THE NEED.
You're new to this so you will be surprised the amount of people who insist you buy similar things to what they have, or they are convinced what they've bought is the best thing in the world and everybody must think the same, and spend their money in the same place. I think there needs to be a clinical name somewhere deep in psychoanalytical dictionaries for this.
You can experiment a lot with basic kit lenses and get fabulous shots before you can tell which your favourite style is. Macro requires different gear, wide angle creative options is its own thing, journalistic/street is something else, portrait photography, etc. They are all different and can require different gear if you want to advance in any one direction.
A kit lens 18-55, and a cheap tele lens, say 55-200, can be all you need for now. Use them for a year until you can tell where you want to spend your money.
And THEN... you define the budget.
Are you making money out of your photography? Is this spending an investment that is going to pay for itself?
Are you doing it for fun? Just a hobby? How serious do you want to take it?
Define the need first.
Define the budget.
and THEN
You can ask people what options there are for the particular need and budget you have.
This is how everyone should ask about new gear. Dammit.
