You can unlucky with repairs, and get drained of money.
I would recommend saving up a lot of money by only wearing 25-30k worth of stuff. It might take a while. If you wear even cheaper stuff you will get gold faster. Save up like 50k.
Then you'll be able to wear whatever you want for a long time (but not forever!).
If you are wearing 40k worth of equipment and get a bad streak of 1x and get unlucky with repairs, you can get nailed.
