I got mine to 235 with only about 5k seed money I think. If you want to do it the cheap way (note it will take a LOT longer) you can enchant every bar. This way you can actually stay pretty close to breaking even until you get to the mid-high end Platinum stuff. I usually got a few hundred plat up and then I'd have a few fails and get back to about even. I think my Int was about 170 or so when I did it but it's been a while. I'd wait until you are 29+ if you aren't already just so you can have Clarity if you choose to go this route. You will be medding a lot if you enchant every bar.

I also suggest North Freeport as a good place to do this. The Jewelry shop has everything you need and it's right near the bank.
