>>If you don't have a enough money to buy some equipment then you need to find another hobby.<<
This is a bit shortsighted for those starting out.
Can I AFFORD $400-500 (in addition to another $150 or so for stuff for the bases) for plate equipment? Sure. Do I want to spend that much before I start working, knowing I will only make probably twice that in the season and at the same time not knowing if I am going to like it enough to continue?
If you are in your second plus year of umpiring, yes, you need the equipment and you need to work the bucket with regularity. But the same may not be true of first years.
