After not owning an SLR for a few years, I bought a D3100 in March with the 18-55, 55-200VR and 35mm 1.8. In retrospect I probably would've been fine with this setup (all for under $1000 too...can't beat that) but I caught the upgrade bug and wasted quite a bit of money buying, trying and selling lenses. However, I think I finally have a setup that I'm satisfied with, a Siggy, Tammy and Nikki:
Wide: Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6
Normal: Tamron 17-50 non-VC
Telephoto: Nikon 55-200mm VR
The telephoto was definitely the hardest to decide on. I had the Nikon 70-300 VR and Tamron 70-300 VC but the weight and size difference made me reluctant to pull them out, especially in front of people (the whole paparazzi vibe with the lens hood on).
Now I just need to stay away from the deals sites to avoid lens sales
