Although I'm not a roadie but a mountainfag as stated in this very thread yesterday, I know what I'm talking: you don't need all that budget. Seriously.
Buy smart. Start slow.
I just got a Canyon Lux Trail for 4500€, but after 5 years riding trails and getting to now what my goal is with a hardtail (plenty of fun and I will not ditch it, but one needs to evolve).
It's my 3rd MTB after a 300€ aluminium Coluer and an Orbea Alma CF (1600€).
Decathlon and end-of-season discounts from Fox/100%/Leatt,et is the key.
The only place where you really need to spend is in your safety: buy proper rear lights, good helmet, good gloves, etc. Do not get retarded on those.
