First get to level 20. You really can't make a lot of money as a level 16.
Second, make a budget. Why are you broke? Even a level 16 should have some cash stored away. Look at what you are spending all your gold on and ask if you really need it or is it just junk. Next determine what you really need to buy and start saving for it.
Write down your goals and how much each will likely cost. Then set a minimum goal for your storage bank. That goal might be 10k or maybe even only 5k. Determine that you will not spend 1g on anything other than pure necessities until your storage has that amount in it and determine that you storage will never drop below that amount except for emergencies when you need the cash.
When questing, pick up all your drops even the crappy white ones. The merchant will pay decent money for those and you'll be surprised how much they add up. You won't get super rich off white drops, but you will get enough to buy everything you need. (Not everything you want, just what you need)

your biggest goal should be finishing what ever campaign you own to get access to HM. Once you start playing in HM and vanquishing you should not have money woes anymore, even without farming.

Anyone else have ideas?

Take advantage of special weekends.
Recently there was a weekend event that dropped fireworks. On that weekend, they were selling for a minimum of 200g (though they'll only go for 100g-125g or there abouts now). Killing low level monsters is just as time efficient as the big ones, so go on killing sprees. As you learn to farm you'll find good spots for your profession of choice and the campaign(s) you own.
I Was able to make 500k that weekend, and I don't usually farm. I just go nuts during weekends like that. There will probably be one at the end of this month for GW's birthday, though don't hold your breath. Don't expect to pull in 500k but it should get you a nice little amount so you don't have to worry about day-to-day expenses, which at your level / experience is all you need to be worrying about
Farming these events + questing, missioning and doing Hard Mode things is usually my form of income these days and that leaves me pretty comfortable.
To unlock Hard Mode (HM) you just need to finish the last mission of a campaign (prophs, factions, nightfall) and on the Party Window there will be an option to switch modes. Then, all your level 20s can access HM!

Another tip related to picking up all the white drops is again after lvl 20, if you identify those items with a regular ID kit that also slightly increases your profits. Most items gain far more resell value than the 4 gold it costs to identify them. It does help, but only at the higher level areas. The Crystal Desert and on in Prophecies is an example.
The very large amounts of money come from trading with other players mostly. However, players only want perfect mod and rare skins on items generally. Do some searches thru the Sell or High End Sell forums to see what things are sold to other players.
This is all after lvl 20 pretty much though, so as mentioned, finish your campaign first.

Farming in HM depends on what you are going for, the special event farms are done in NM for speed, as things die quicker in NM. Kill more things quickly, get more special items quickly. There are HM farms for gold items and other things. But most farming by the masses now would be raptor farming on NM during special events.

The problem with being new is you start with very little. Some things to take into account at this point. Function over fashion. Don't waste your plat on looking "cool" in this game max is max looks are just for that.

some of these people have played for almost 3 years, don't compare yourself to them.

Eh, only 2 viewing now.
I'm gonna disagree with your quote above. I play this game to have fun. There are a lot of ways to make money in this game but overall your main objective should be to have fun. Farming is boring to me but a lot of folks enjoy it. Just do what you enjoy most and you'll find that you can probably earn gold from it.
- Just go thru the storylines. Finish all the quests and missions. You'll earn a decent living.
- Farming. If you're good you can make a lot of gold this way. If you're not good it can be frustrating.
- Power Trading. High end power trading is where the real money is. You can make millions here, but it's not for beginners. You need a firm understanding of the market and that will take a lot of experience.
- Running. No matter where you go in this game there will be someone there that wants to be someplace else. If you can run him there you can earn money. Again, this isn't for beginners. Also if you want to get better at the game, I'd recommend never accepting a run. You have to pay the runner and it's money that you don't need to spend. If you can't finish a mission on your own, then read wiki and learn how to do it. You'll improve your skills and save your cash.
HawkofStorms
First of all, ask yourself why do you need hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Covah also has a good point. I'm rich as hell, but I've been playing the game for 3 years. You have had it for... what a month? Take it slow and easy. You will get money in time. There is no reason to rush.

Everyone starts dirt poor. I was never a big farmer (too boring), I was more of a quester. Pick up everything and take the advice to ID white drops in the harder areas (areas where you fight lvl 20 guys) as a sword listed as selling for 43g, may sell for 88g (or could be only 45g) after you ID it. But if you are hard up for $$ thats a good way to increase it slightly.
Definitely dont get run to further areas as you will be less skilled, and you lose out on the drops while you are fighting over to the harder areas.
Finally, my first character struggled with $$ even after I finished the campaign (much prior to hard mode). The $$ started build with the successive characters as I knew what to buy or not buy, and the main character supplied all the $$. So the next characters just saved all the way to the end of the game.
So just play the game, have fun, do quests, kill stuff, and only buy the necessities. Also my first few characters only used collector armors (the armor that you get from "Collectors" by trading 5 Tengu Scalps etc) and only purchased the max armor from the higher end city (droknors). So save those collectable drops and check wiki for what you can trade them in for.

always just play the game farming comes last. and you need to try farming first before going all out on it to see if you like it i love farming i play to farm i suck at it i can never get my builds to work right. and also remember it takes money to make a good farming build trust me im doing the finishing touches on a perma shadowform sin and it has takin me close to 8k just to make this guy and my 55 monk thats not finished is close to 10k so remember finish the game first it will make it easier to make a good build i havent and its costing me alot of time and money.
Wirt
Also keep in mind for farming (especially in Prophecies), most farm builds are based around an elite skill. You wont even have access to capturing elite skills until the Crystal Desert, Southern Shiverpeaks and Fire Isles.

Allow me to post what I did to another person asking this.
Just take as much quests as you can so your quest log if full of them.
If you manage to do quests quickly you should have 60k by a week.
Also save money by using collectors items and pick up everything that drops.
*Tips*
#1- Identify items whenever you can only when they are they are max or near max Otherwise a low 2-6 dmg spear is not worth IDing. So if you just Identify items it pays off for the ID kit and gives you alot of money in return.
#2- Buy Low Sell High, (This is only if you have alot of patience). The words explain itself. (Items that are common for the buy low/sell high trick are Mini-Pets, Zaishen Keys, and stacks of material or party items)
#3- Join a good PvE guild. Most members and officers will help you advance through the game probably thrice as fast as you would grinding through it. Some guilds also host events for money such as 1v1 tournaments and ect.
#4- Some people can also make a profit on playing PvP (Its not my prefered choice but thats just me). PvPers can farm Zaishen Keys for 5k Balthazar faction per key~~~Provided by Tolkano The Tournament Agent. These keys sell for 2.6k-3k ea. Or if you're a more competitive PvPer and like tournaments and rare weapons, Guild Wiki has the answer.( http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Pvp_rewards )
Let the Jade Wind carry you across your journey and good luck.

Like real life, it's difficult for anyone to tell you what you should do with your millions when you get them, if you even want to get them at all. It's all very subjective: YOU have to decide what you NEED to have, and compromise it with what you WANT to have. Most people I know that farm for lots of cash do it because they want cool looking elite armor, fully runed and inscribed for whatever they like to do. They also pretty much have multiple toons that they are supporting, and a ton of heroes.
The question you need to ask yourself is "what do I need money for?" When you know the answer to that question, you'll get an idea on how much you'll need, and that will determine where and how much you'll farm.
I've only got one PvE toon and I farm to have enough cash to equip a character, buy a weapon, or outfit a hero now and then. Don't sweat the big bank roll. It doesn't make you a better player, just one with a lot of time to kill.

1 you might never get 100k and even with a level 20 and a decent farm you will probally get 10k ish an hour, if you lucky. Secound we need some kind of sticky to stop these newbs posts "Lolz i wants money how do i getz it kk thank you!!11!!"
Lord Tetsu

The world is entirely open now and market values are balanced across it. You'll find deviating prices between players, of course, but nothing server specific like Tetsu is suggesting.
