New to Genealogy?

When I first started exploring my family history, I didn't really know where to begin. It seemed easy enough to just start with myself and work backward, but there were still so many questions. Where do I find more information? What information exists past family documents and stories? Realistically, how much money should I be spending to work on my family tree? Ancestry's Family History 101 page was a great help to me. If you are just starting out in genealogy, I hope you'll check it out too.
