Same here, it's had its ups and downs. I've had 2 million at times, but a few lucky pulls and guaranteed tickets further, I suddenly found a bunch of lvl 1 golds and rainbows in my list. Which needed manyus to level, so I ran a bunch of manyu dailies, which give very little gold. But using the manyus I got did cost a lot of gold. Then evolving, which requires more dailies that net little gold, but the evolving itself costs a ton.
On top of that, I keep all of my girls equiped with as much as they can carry, while upgrading every lvl 10 piece of equipment I find, which is a pretty constant gold drain as well.
I could ofcourse focus only on the girls I actually use, but the slice and magic ones already maxed out (or, in one case, I only use ampies to level), so I might as well level all the others in anticipation of Nation Battles. And yes, I do have evolved 2* girls wearing lvl 10 bracelets.
