Not really. By the end of ARR and start of HW you should have around a million gil just from playing the game unless you have squandered it on stuff you don't need. The amount of gil you earn increases over time as you go into higher level content.

Buying a house will be expensive unless you play the market board to build up a fortune, but an apartment is something everyone should be able to afford long before hitting level cap.


Fact is that there are very few things you actually need to spend gil on, so you can save almost all of it.
