It gets hard as hell. I also have no money to fix my armour or to buy cola. 
 
Any tips from other level 30's? 
Whats the best place to make some money and get decent armour?

I hit 30 and had $30,000.  What did you do with your money?

Yep when you get to lvl 30 armor won't help much you NEED a Leaque/group which is the point, don't even try to do some of those missions by yourself. Others have to help in order for you to get your marks and be able to get the best armor. Some missions you even can't do with a group until you get better armor.
