Gold for the most part comes a tad hard - until Leval 30 and the Staff. Leveling a new staff at Kinghead will easily turn in 20k+ in just a few short hours...

Tanking that and playing Blackjack (using the BJ Guide posted in the Card Games Forums) can turn that 20+k into 40+ k faster (if you have the right cards... NOTE - if you are not a good player - keep you 20+ k and keep working staff at groups of larger enemies... it will still turn into 40+k soon enough without the loss of your gold).
Note that wise people try to master grenades before their pirate reaches level 30. Mastering grenades means getting them to level 25 - which means a lot of grenades thrown at the football team in the Kingshead parade ground. And that will get you more gold than the mere 20k to 30k you get when leveling up your voodoo staff.

After you have grenades and voodoo staff at respectably high levels, you will have enough cheat cards to play blackjack and poker (and win at both, consistently.)

But for me, for all of my pirates, the struggle was to get that first war galleon. Once past that hurdle, the challenge quickly became giving away the gold (so I wouldn't be at max gold again.)
