I find it a little hard to believe you only made 3k gold between 68 and 77...I'm 73, almost 74, and I have already spent well over 1500 gold on professions, gear for lower level toons, etc.
Regardless, I spent more gold than I wanted to. However, the best thing to do is make a bank alt. Make him/her, then run their little level 1 behind to the nearest major city and live right in between the bank and mailbox.
I usually send my bank alt gold in multiples of 50...I made 200g after just a couple hours of questing (73.0 to 73.5). Put your extra gold from all your toons on your bank alt, and you will be amazed at how fast it stacks up. I had over 1k gold in no time.

I didn't really spend anything.
Yeah, that's what I gathered, so I figured you would have made a bit more than 3k.
But anyway, the best way to make money is to just quest, and do the whole bank alt thing like i said before.

Questing is the most pain-free way of getting gold, as it distracts you with an objective. Dailies come in second only because you'll be doing the same thing in the same area again and again and again.
If you haven't done the Midsummer torch extinquishing/honoring quests, do those. At 80 honoring a fire gives you 6g, extinguishing one gives you 13g or so. So it's about 20g for every zone you visit (apart from the ones that only have one fire). Wasting a few hours doing that can net you about 600g.
If you ding 80, head to the Argent Tournament and do those dailies. If you work your way up to Champion, the dailies for that rank are worth about 25g each.

I didn't take them because I didn't want to take time away from leveling.
This was your mistake. Mining can be tough...but Herb/Skin will level as you level without any extra effort whatsoever. Take an extra 2 minutes every time you run through one of your capital cities and dump the mats on the AH. Done.
And it will make you a lot of gold. One of the people in my old guild had over 1.5k gold by level 22...granted, copper and light leather were extremely overpriced at the time, but good for her.

having epic flyer during lvling... why would you need it?
on the rare occasions you have to go all the way to the other side of the map when you forgot something on your route perhaps?
the heartstone cooldown has been lowered to 30 minutes... so you don't have to travel back to the camp so often...
or are you one that keeps your heartstone at a far of city because you think it saves you more time keeping it there (to buy new spells when you ding), then close by at the camp where every time where you gather your quests?
also in my experience...
when i don't have epic flyer on one of my alts i always want it badly
when i finally have it i realize 'why the *!@# is it so important again? and i regret the 5k gold cost which i could have spent on craftable's/enchants/gems'

Agreed. Taking a gathering profession is
critical
to getting your characters to 80 as quickly as possible, IMO. Making that gold (in addition to questing) gives you the ability to pay for class abilities, as well as the faster mounts, which will, in turn, allow you to complete quests faster.
Not having the gold available when you need it really makes the whole "level as fast as possible" idea come to a screeching halt at certain points. Best to prepare in advance to keep that train rolling.
Well said.
Whenever I start a new character on a separate realm (only happened twice so far) I always get 2 gathering professions on my main, and sometimes my alt(s). I plan to get herb/skin on my rogue, because aside from providing mats to my hunter (LW'er) and DK (scribe) for low-level armor and glyphs, he gets a crit bonus and a nice HoT. And if he doesn't need new armor/glyphs, I sell the mats.
Where can you go wrong?
