That sinking feeling...

You've written before about how unwilling you are to use teleports of any anount over... 300 gil, I think it was?

I really think this is a self-inflicted problem for you. The game is built around the average player having to make frequent teleports that cost up to 1000 gil (700 if your FC has the fee reduction buff active, 350 if a favoured destination) and being worried about spending that much ever is just crippling in ways that the developers don't see as an issue.

Plan your trip and gather efficiently, sure. Make use of your favoured destinations and return point. But don't see it as unreasonable to have to warp from Eorzea to Othard - it's expected that you will do so. Regularly.

Also, retainers.

And Doman Enclave.

And to the OP:

If you get retainers up to Level 70, they bring in about 6-7 allagan coins. Said coins sell to vendors for 500g each (or 1000 to Doman Enclave up to 40 per week). Running dungeons gives a bunch, as do completing challenge logs. Now, granted I have 4 retainers instead of 2 doing this, but over a month or two, while teleporting between Peering Stones and Tamamizu daily for Beast Tribes and while selling almost nothing on the MB, I was still able to make ~1 million gil in about a month and a half IIRC, just doing that, getting gil from the daily roulettes, gil from dungeon mobs, etc. The teleports don't (or shouldn't) hurt your wallet whatsoever. It's worth pointing out that the beast tribes themselves give 1,500-1,800 gil per tribe per day which covers the teleport fees alone and then some.

Also, make clever use of your Free/Favored Destination and your Home Point -- set one somewhere in Othard, perhaps at Tamamizu (If you do the beast tribes, which you SHOULD), set one of them in a City-State (I have mine in Ul'dah because I'm a Flame), and the other, in Norvrandt once you get there. If, for example, you need to go to Azim Steppe... instead of paying 999 gil to do so, warp to Tamamizu first, and then warp to Azim Steppe for ~250 gil. Yeah, sure, it's 2 teleports and 2 loading screens, but it saves you some gil if you're that worried about your wallet. If you don't have a Free Teleport, GO GET ONE! One-Time Password Tokens are great for extra security and hack prevention anyways and the Free Teleport is a great reward from having one (IIRC that's how you get the free teleport?).

EDIT: Also, if you're worried about gil, try selling some crystals if the market is any decent. Surely out of all the items, everybody needs crystals and it should be stable enough that you could sell those and make some mild amounts of gil? Or other low-level materials used in high level crafting like Silver Ore, Effervescent Water, Cobalt Ore, etc that nobody who is Lv60+ feels like going back and getting? I know lately I routinely see these going for 100-200g per item and as long as you didn't flood the market with them, you could make some decent bank at an early level doing this.

EDIT2: Another thing to do, use your Chocobo Saddlebag to store crafting materials. Once a week, go out and get a stack of materials that are commonly asked for at your level and keep them in the saddlebag, tucked away neatly. That way if you have a bunch of, say, Doman Iron or Palladium or what-not in your Saddlebag and they ask for that, you can just open your saddlebag and grab it. That way, you can teleport once, gather a bunch of materials some day you got nothing to do, and you'll have them when you need them.
