Okay, so you use gold for reforging. Considering you have bested the first three bosses at that point (at least skeletron), I assume you have the hellstone armour or whatever it's called.

With the initial 3 bosses defeated, the only reason you would need to reforge anything, would be to defeat the wall of flesh. And defeating him is easily done by using a long straight row filled with dozens of spikey balls. For asisstance you could reforge the minishark (which I admit does cost absurdly much), but even then its not needed. Which means you wish to reforge accessories. And for anything pre-hardmode bosses, its not -NEEDED-. But whatever floats your boat.

Personally, if you are REALLY in need of gold, I recommend killing the eater of worlds instead. He drops more demonite, plus a nice supply of scales (easily worth 1 gold). Or just mine meteorites if they fell, or mine hellstone bricks, which sell for RIDICULOUS amounts of gold. But again, thats all up to every player.
