Don’t buy glass carboys, anvil (blichmanns low cost brand) is good for equipment. Use a brewing calculator, start with extract, clean stuff well, and don’t overcomplicate it. Don’t make anything too strongly flavored, after 5 gallons you will hate it. 5 gallons is the best size for batches. Go straight for kegs (corny kegs) like they use for soda. Northern brewer is a good supplier (no affiliation just a happy customer). If you really get into it buy hops by the pound. Edit: almost forgot, temperature is the most important ingredient in fermenting. Put your kegs and fermenter somewhere that is a constant 60-70 degrees for ales. And start with ales.
