I personally think the kit lens is a must have, for one real good reason. It's a quality lens with very known limitations. Like everyone else said, if you keep to the kit lens now, you'll eventually be able to finish this sentence:

"D@*(&@# IT, that shot would have been AMAZING if I could have __________________"

When you finish that sentence the same way enough times, it's time to break out the checkbook. Not before!

Sometimes, you'll think a lens is the answer when technique turns out to be, or a flash.

Actually, for me, VERY often a flash. Or a second flash. Or a third flash and a reflector.
