You can get Adobe Premiere Elements for about $100, or even a Premiere Elements & Photoshop Elements bundle for $150-ish

Vegas starts off pretty inexpensively, as well.

For starters, though... what's wrong with MS Movie Maker? It's free, and already on your computer. 95% of editing can be learned on this. Everything else is just nuance & complexity.

Vegas is probably your best bet. Like steve said, for basic cutting and editing Windows Movie Maker is really good and simple.

I agree with Mr. Steve on this also.
I don't use Movie Maker, since it winds me up. But it is great to learn cutting and such :)

80.00 for PD10. It's a nice program with some fun features.

Lightworks is being released on May 28th. The interface is a little different then most NLEs but it's only $60 a year on a subscription model.
