Poor and Rich, no middle?!

Just think of it as a marathon, not a sprint. Starting out on this server really blows since it's very difficult to make a relevant amount of money until you're 50+. Incidental plat you get from leveling up is hardly worth anything (ie - selling fine steel, gems, etc). And farming for plat (ie - seafuries, farming hill giants, etc) is a relatively low source of income as plat values on the server are very low due to inflation. Once you get 50+ you'll be able to start farming items which yield much more cash.
