Now i kno i might sound like a noob for saying this but:
Right now all my characters are different factions. 2 Of them have JTL. I plan on buying JTL for my third account after i ace 1 pilot proff. Now the thing about this is that i cant afford all the parts and chassis im gonna need. I have to restart my mains proff cause i surrenderd it a while back and deleted all my ships. And if thats enough my exguild has a storage for parts, and well i gave the house to a guy it kicked me off admin and he took a break from the game. Anyone kno what i should do?

well... you can find a rich, generous friend 
Seriously, If you got some fighting skills, you could do missions on the ground. 49kfor a rancor mission is a goodstart.
If you don't, thenI would go down the freelance tree first as the ships have a higher mass. This way you can just use the looted components you get without worring too much about the mass. I sold 150 looted parts to the chassis dealer and got over 450k for it. (many of these parts were RE lvl.6-8) Most of the parts I am using in my ship are looted as I have yet to find a SW that can make something with a silmilar performace for the mass.
Of course, once you master, you should be able to pull 100k in cold hard cash in deep space.

It's so pathetically easy to earn money in space. Complete tier1 with any pilot, by the time you do the missions in the noob ship you have enough to buy better from the bazaar. Once you have all tier1 boxes, and can easily kill tier2 ships, go to work for the Yavin station. Do the short story missions, then take the "Quick work" he offers and Destroy Debris Cultists. 120k+ per mission, not counting the 60-80 parts you get and could sell or trade to an SW for better stuff. Seriously space can pay for itself, and your ground game too. Its a lot easier to use space to pay for ground, than the other way round. Personally I find it more fun too.

I started up a new character on another server. With space my character's ground game is so much easier. Just sell the parts to the chassis dealer. You may not be able to buy the highest level ship you can use but you won't be flying a piece of junk either.

Smuggler exploiting ATST to pull and get full payout on solo group missions that no longer work for most people who are not deliberately getting around it.

Thanks to JTL, I'm rolling in money! I've never had this much in my entire time playing. I'm almost to the point where I can say "before JTL I never had half this much my entire time playing"

In the past week, I have made over 750K selling loot and getting credits from the kills I've made in space. Its not hard to make good money quickly if you put a little time in.
And its not like I'm on 24/7 - I play only at night during the week (yeah, having a job and a real life can really cut into your gaming time) and put in some time on the weekends. And of those evenings, I also play on the ground when friends are online. So maybe 90 minutes a night, and a couple hours on the weekend. Its not that hard.

I would be much richer in this game as a pilot if I didn't give about 80% of my loots to my shipwright buddy. For me that was the best way to go. Make friends with a good shipwright and keep him supplied in parts. You help each other that way. It works for both people. I am flying a 100% free KSE. Rather than credits, I spent hours pulling in parts for him to RE for those KSE disks. And the freindship from dealing with a SW versus the chassis dealer is an added bonus.
