Beginner Bass Fisherman Looking For Advice

[the_ugly_stick]

So I just recently began fishing. After catching the first bass I realized that this was the sport fish for me. However, being a beginning fisherman, I do not have any lures. I was wondering what kind of lures you guys recommend for someone like me who is just starting out. I have no idea on any of the stuff that works good or doesn't work good. I realize lures can become pretty pricey, and I am also looking for something affordable. I will mostly be fishing in lakes. If there is any other information which you guys need, just let me know.
