Stop buying shit in the AH, period
Absolutely.

Do. Not. Buy. Anything. Ever.

Best advice I can give is to mine or skin and sell those; Herbalism works too but it takes a bit more patience and annoyance gathering than mining does(though endgame it can pay off a little better due to constant potion/elixir/flask use by raiders); loot EVERYTHING you kill.
My (latest) main leveled on mining and tailoring. I leveled cooking and first aid too so the only thing I had to sell were my ores. The items I created from tailoring and the green drops I got were DEed by a bank alt at first but once they got too high level for him (he had 50 skill), they just got vended because I couldn't be arsed with the auction house.

By 40 I had 450g.

Note that this was a new server for me. I had no high level alts to help me.

It's amazing how easy it is to make money just by not spending it.
