You have to set your own goals, decide what is achievable and go for it. I would strongly advise you to build up your reserves (as mentioned above) so that you can buy things when FM decide to discount them suitably. When I was building up my garage and career levels I only let my bank balance slip below 1000 when absolutely necessary (a time limited sale too good to refuse for example). I farmed like crazy when I had the time or when money was tight and typically tried to build up around 2000 in reserve at the start of each new update so I could afford to win all the new cars (because that is generally the cheapest they will every be).

There are a number of resources on here that can be used to maximise your strategy:
 * Upgrades Strategy for 100% Completion - for ensuring you never over upgrade a car
 * RR3_Wiki:Most_Profitable_Races - to ensure all farming is as efficient as possible
 * Gold, Gold and More Gold - as an indication of the gold required/added each update
