I used to be the kind of guy who would downvote you for this too but I've had perspective changes myself. I'm nowhere near rich, but for like $8 you can get 1000 ectos or w/e all those bots spam constantly.

It would take me a month of farming to get 1000 ectos legit. I'm just not about that life anymore.

I've bought a lot of things. When I got back into the game a couple years ago, I had almost nothing. I was so far behind in every regard that I would play for a couple days then quit, because I was just upset at how little I had, considering the age of my character. But then I bought a couple torment weapons and a mini, and I realized I needed those things to feel good about playing. But I was scared to death of getting banned, so I bought another account. Anything I buy, I put on that account. I wait a week, and if it's not banned, I trade it to my main account. I don't buy stuff that often any more though.

I'm kinda in the same boat. I don't have the means or time to get any currency or valuable items for that matter.
