Find a good used Yamaha or Seagull. Decent quality and readily available. New $150 guitars are nearly unplayable and are bound to disappoint IMO. If after 1 year you decide you don't want to play, you can resell the guitar for nearly what you paid so there is little risk. The floor for a decent new guitar is around $400. Below that quality falls pretty fast.
This is a pretty sweet deal if it plays well:
