$60 isn't really an issue if it is a good value for the money.
$60 for skins, you still have to pay for stash tabs +other stuff. Most of it is cosmetic, some convenience items.

Honestly though, the game is free so if anything you could just pretend you are buying the game for $100 and call it a buy to play. I would say its closer to GW2, but with more expensive stuff and no way to exchange ingame currency for shop stuff. It's really no different than what Blizzard is doing to Diablo 4, and you will still drop $60 for that game I imagine. As for me; I just play it as F2P.
I recommend doing it sort of like I did. Play the free version. If you really really like it then start to feel the inventory clutter is getting to you, buy the various improved stash tabs. They make life so much easier. Then if you keep playing, even look forward to the next season, the cosmetics are a good way to help support the game. But they are expensive.
Stash tabs are definitely the first thing to look at purchasing.
PoE is a lot of fun, but the skins are terribly overpriced IMO. As said before, first grab the stashes, which are on sale almost every other week. After that you can optionally get some skins to support GGG for their great work.
On consoles (PS4 for sure) you'll get a freebee when you have the consoles subscription once in a while as well. I've had 2 so far and they held a pet and head skin (worth around $10-$15).
Some of the packs, especially the ones that include the full outfit, weapon etc can be hundreds of dollars. Founders of the game can get them much cheaper as well, which piles on the peer pressure to spend big and look good too.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

imo one of the best games i've played have like 2000k hrs playing in still love it. also check out twitch to watch others play, and i would wait for the new season to start to really get into it.
When I get home, sometimes I just want to shut it all down, slam a YouTube video on my other monitor and mindlessly explode hordes of enemies.
I guess if my job was pulling a lever at a factory to stamp a piece of sheet metal for a car door all day, then I'd want to come home and do something a lot more mentally stimulating, but many days I just want make pretty explosions and turn my brain off for an hour or two.
Playing the game on hardcore is only true way to play it. If you havent tried the game on HC, then you havent played the game.
You can see my sci-fi/WW2 book recommendations.
To start playing, dont buy anything, play for free, if yiu get addicted, wait for a sale and buy a few stash tabs and thats it.
You wont need stash tabs until about 20 hours into the game unless you are a hoarder like @kyleran.
