best way to make gold is farming the first boss pre-hardmode. He'll get you the gold you need in no time and i solo'ed him with s silver set of armor, fire arrows, a gold bow, and lesser healing potions on one 200plank platform. was easier than i thought it would be honestly. I only had to heal once

i got the silver armor by mining 250 sand blocks, obtaining the grapple, and found a floating island and used the ore. however if you don't have at least copper armor island searching could be hard in the corruption
