After a recent hiatus from playing Civ, I dived right into a game starting as the Egyptians. I thought it would put me in a prime location as they originated from around the Fertile Crescent, an area Diamond stated as being geographically advantaged.
I built my cities, developed everything, and I am well on my way to having all of Africa mine.
My confusion lies with my money, however. The fluctuation of my budget confuses me. One turn I am making +16 in gold. 3 turns later and I'm -4.
To counterbalance, I have my workers create a lot of hamlets, and other structures that claim to provide gold. Still, I have yet to reach a consistent output (input?) of money. This is very frustrating to me, especially since I want to go to war soon. and I'm so above doing things the American way, which would be to go to war anyways and just run up the national debt.
Any suggestions for stabilization?

to remain economically stable when i was trying to figure myself out, i would simply keep my empire to a minimum in tems of settling. i would only settle the locations an abundance of natural resources and stay within a small perameter. i do not rely on the currency meter on the top of the screen and still do well.
