Tom,

That's why I called the blog Gold, Gold and More Gold. I started that when I was in your position. I waited for over a year for the TOYOTA TS040 Hybrid (2014) to come on sale (it's still never been in an LTS or Special Event) and rather than farming until my eyes bled I took my time, working to the following rules:
 * Try to keep a float of 1000 GC minimum for sales
 * Win new cars in each update first
 * Buy cars only in sales
 * Upgrade for career only when there is spare gold (i.e. more than 1000 and all cars won)

Once you reach 100% garage it gets easier as you don't spend any gold buying new cars (except things like the Altima in this update) and I never bought that useless Nascar that isn't needed for 100% completion. I then started upgrading cars for WTTT when I realised it was worth 100 gold a week for 30 minutes work if you could get into group B. Since I started that I've never been out of group B.

I've started making a map now of each release User blog:Sirebel/McLaren and Bathurst Update (5.5.0) so I can see how much gold will be required through an update. If you do that you have an idea of how much gold you need and when.

I had set backs, I felt like leaving several times but I stuck with it and it got easier.
