I usually get my mount around 45ish as a hunter, would farm a little more if I was a slower class and get it by 43.
But in general it’s possible to get it before 40. A stack of certain grey items sell for 1g before 40
This, you don’t need all your spells while leveling… or just in general really. Lots of people up to 60 wont have all their abilities maxed out to be honest.
Don’t spend money on your professions unless they are gathering professions like Mining, skinning, herbalism, fishing
I got 9g an hour farming centaurs in Desolace as warrior. Was pretty decent XP, got me 5 levels.

Yeah each 5-10 kills bandage, and keep going. Also there were 2 chests around that respawned every 20-30 minutes, got a blue dagger from one, and greens from rest, though sometimes you get nothing : (

Well, if you have fallen on hard times… always the inn at goldshire ;D
lol.
Hey sometimes it’s like that, you’ll usually get food and some resource like linen cloth or something from the chests even if they don’t have a green.

I must say I was tempted to dance on mailbox a few times, but I pulled through.

You’re supposed to grind… hard.
Find mobs that drop greys that vendor for a high amount. Farm said mobs till your bags are full and sell everything. Vendor greens that drop and sell blues if you’re lucky on the AH. Also run skinning if you’re farming beasts and vendor the leathers

Are we talking about grinding on the mailbox or killing mobs? because that could be a good tip for making money
I didn’t have a mount until lvl 43 or so on my first character in Vanilla and I was far from being the only one.
- Don’t buy skills that you don’t need/use while leveling.
- Don’t spend (too much) money on AH.
- Don’t improve your professions unless you can make money out from it.
- Loot and sell everything to either vendors or AH if you posses rare items/materials
- Grind, grind, grind. Kill and loot everything, even when you’re just traveling from point A to point B. Most of the money comes from sheer grinding. (unless you hit a jackpot with an Epic drop and manage to sell it on AH for high price.)

Learn some professions and get a job 
On hitting 40 I had like 65g. After that I mailed back all the copper, bronze, tin, iron bars I was stashing, some leather as well and went to /Trade and AH with it. Bronze/tin sold instantly while iron was to high level and even now there is no market for it. Vendored a bit, did some more quests, did one farm run of Shimmering Flats basilisks and done - mount same day as level 40.
What’s important to note that vendor value of stuff increases a lot around 40. If you continue questing you will get even grey weapons that can vendor for more than 1g. If you can quest - just continue and gold income will increase.

The first time I played, I only got my mount at level 47 on my dwarven hunter. It’s a normal Vanilla experience. This time around, I got skinning and am only buying spells i actively use in questing and dungeons. Frostbolt, Blizzard, sheep, buffs, fireblast as a luxury, scorch in case I have to fight a rare water elemental. Frost nova stays level 1.
I’m reasonably certain I’ll make it to 90g at level 40, even vendoring my leather and sending my greens to a disenchanter alt.
Almost at 80g atm. I did grind 3 levels on level 30 Worgen in Duskwood that drop currency and are also skinnable. Did that grind to ensure mount at 40
Got 7 BoE blues during levelling and grinding aswell but those still sit in the bank atm
Meanwhile me :
Soon 200 gold and only level 18
._. i have a farming problem
