Well, you can grind it out in the Armex Arsenal Arena, boom, infinite money.
But I don't think grinding is a good idea. It doesn't fit the theme of Mass Effect games imo, and the prices for most weapons are simply too high. 250k for the Valiant? biower pls
A higher starting bonus, maybe an import bonus capped at 50k from Mass Effect 2 in addition to the 35k from the first mission would help, as well as weapon prices tweaks. Right now these "balanced" prices looks like someone threw darts at random numbers while being blindfolded. Noone should be forced to grind out the arena (even though I like doing it from time to time once available).
Yes, of course anything could be grinded, but that's require Citadel DLC to be finished, or at least started, and I prefer to do it before the final assault, just to keep the idea of the last stop before going into unknown.
My idea is that, like for ME2, Bioware done only half of the job, moving free DLC gear to stores but forgetting to add more money.

@draconiam, yep, that's the point. They do half the job every time with game balance. Including removed multiplayer and lots of its leftovers still in the game.
Irony is that now, with all DLC and items included, I play LE more much more closely to fresh ME3 when it was released in 2012.

@ELevinI made a blog once saying that when I was starting ME3 LE Bioware made and planned the third game originally as a multiplayer game with single player components and it still shows considering that thw value of the War Assets is cut by half and everyone refers in the Galactic Readiness map as the Reapers winning in all fronts (the same conversation if you didnt played multiplayer) with no single player way of countering that. Naturally people blasted my blog as simple fan hate saying things like a monetary import bomus would be lore and game breaking as Shepard was in Alliance lockup and had his items confiscated (with all of them conveniently stashed in Vancouver when the Reapers struck).
If people keep defending Bioware we will get more Arrival like content (after doing the biggest side quest in ME2 the company remembered that the Reapers themseleves needed to more addressed and that they needed another excuse for Shepard to not be doing anything when ME3 came out), I hated how they whitewashed they Alliance.
