I've been thinking about it for a while and I'm finally going for it. The problem is I see really long lists of gear and I don't know what's essential for the first game and what I can buy later. Can you help me not spend too much all at once?

It's extremely important to play at least 3-4 matches as a rental player to see if, by feel, you'll stop enjoying it or not. Once that threshold is passed, we get started.
First, very first: protective gear. Get yourself a mouth guard that's comfortable for you. This type of mask is very good to start with and, for most people, it's the only thing you need for the rest of the hobby. And now, the most important thing: eye protection. Buying quality goggles can be the difference between having a great time or having a nightmare because of fogging. Look for some decent goggles with anti-fog treatments and take good care of them.
As far as protective gear goes, that's the essential bit. The next thing you need is something to shoot with. Look for a replica that you like visually; the best thing is that during those matches you've been playing as a rental, ask your mates to let you try their replicas with a couple of shots to help you decide. You'll also need magazines, a battery, a battery charger and BBs. That's the bare minimum to play.
What comes next should be a chest rig and a sling to hang your replica and carry your magazines. With all that, you should be ready for anything. You don't need super tacti-cool clothing or 80 accessories to have a good time.
I hope you have a great time, Kike!
