It takes hours, days, if not weeks to level up crafting professions. If you really are a casual player with limited playtime, I don't know why you would want to spend it crafting gear for yourself when you can simply focus on leveling. You're not "saving gil" this way, its costing you a lot of gil every day you are not Level 50. Gear rewards at level 50 are limited to 450 Tomes of Mythology per week, so every week you are not 50 you are falling behind. The game only gets more exciting as you reach the end and there is more stuff to do. Not saying you have to RACE to the end, but that should be your goal, and you should know the disadvantages of not being level 50 yet.
