Are you wanting to get into it because you hope it will save you money
or because you think you will enjoy the hobby, or both? You really
have to enjoy it as a hobby, forget about the money (although it is
somewhat cheaper once you acquire all the equipment, especially when
you switch to all-grain). Everyone here loves brewing and the fact
that we can enjoy doing something that will produce really great beer
at a fraction of the cost of decent commercial beer, both microbrew
and imported, is very satisfying. You can make as good or even better
brew than you can buy in the stores.

Extract kits will run you between $20-40, depending on style and place
and those are for 5 gallon batches. Personally I wouldn't attempt all-
grain until you have at least 10 good extract batches under your belt.
Just don't give up if you get a bad brew, learn from your mistakes and
strive to avoid them next time. Don't think of homebrewing as a chore,
to me it's an obsession and a great hobby. Plus you get rewarded for
the hard work you put into it.
