I'm not talking about a new pay site either.
I'm saying that a serious noob needs this just to get a decent free site started that
will make any kind of money.
I figure between buying scripts, custom programming and design, content, proper hosting
and buying traffic; the serious noob is going to have to spend at least this much.
What do you think?

What I think? I think you're frustrated and just yanked some random figure out of your ass.
There's a good chance that someone investing $20K on a free site (which would be a batshit insane move for 99% of the people here - figure pulled out out of MY ass) is going to lose more money than someone who invests nothing in a free site.
You don't have to pay more money, you just have to be smarter. Write down notes about every site you visit. When it comes time to create your new site, review your notes. Do not do anything that any site you've ever visited has done.
You'll need a LOT more than $20K to compete with what's already out there. You wanna compete with Manwin, FreeOnes, or Sexbot? Its not gonna happen any time soon. On the other hand, it'll cost you next to nothing to create your own niche.
"Niche" sounds like small time, small money. Facebook started as a niche site - an online gathering place for college students.
P.S. Cut this one short. My posts tend to be waaaay too long...
