For me, it was a trolley.
Everything else I borrowed or rented and I used the trolley to cart the club's rental dobs around. Till this day. The only thing I owned during that time was a trolley and a T-ring that was given to me...
What was the first thing you bought when you got hooked? A book? Tent? Binos? Scope? Sleeping bag? Star chart?
The next thing I bought was...
...a camping chair.
You can borrow scopes, books, binos etc. but gotta bring your own chair.
