Learn how to flip items on the auction house. There isn't really a "get rich quick and easy" plan on WoW if you're low level. You either level to max and make gold easy, pay the 15 per month or put in the time and effort to play the auction house.

If you’re planning on playing for a while it’s substantially cheaper to buy long term subs. Also I’ve found a lot of game stores have sales on the 60 day game cards so you can save a few bucks there. Lastly, if you’re going to take a break make sure to freeze your account. You can unfreeze it with some leftover game time and get back in the swing of things before paying for more time.

Use WoW as your entertainment option for the month. Go out to eat or drinks one less time per month. Since time and money is an issue, you would have to sacrifice something else along the lines in order to play.

Look ima come off as a dick, but if you think the “14 euros” or whatever a month is expensive, you probably would be better off spending your time doing other things, to help out your financial situation. If you are in a struggle I recommend doing swagbucks. It’s a website where you take surveys and watch videos and they pay you for it. You can easily earn 1-2 dollars an hour. In you spare time each day. Translate that to being 2 or more months worth of wow each month for an hour or your time a day. Now if you’re not an adult I suggest you ask your parents or neighbors if there is anything you can do to earn some money. Good luck.

Look am 23 i have a job i dont make much thats why i chouse how i spend my $ i have bills to pay help the family and some stuf and with the rest of the $ i think realy carefuly on what and where i spend it on hardware or games.

Farm lots of gold, and buy tokens from the auction house

Sadly no

£10 a month is nothing considering you can play for 5+ hours every day and not run out of stuff to do. Cheaper than chaining AAA titles back to back. But no, there is no cheaper way.

I know this was 5 years ago but I want to add my own opinion too

10 euros a month is pretty expensive and I do not recommend playing a single game more than 2 hours a day so I suggest him to first do everything he can without paying anything and then decide how much he wants to play. because the long term options are much more cheaper when you do the math and you are less likely to worry about paying it since it's usually once a year

  1. Get a job.

  2. Spend 1-2 hours of work on game time (ratio can vary dramatically).

  3. Repeat 1 month later

/s

In all seriousness though, it's better buying game time as farming it will take too long. Unless you are familiar with the AH and how economics works, then you can make some serious dosh.

Sell carries for tokens. Get other people to pay your sub for you.

Decreasing spending in any form is good and put that money towards investments. If you can find a cheaper way to play wow then why not. Blizzard is a greedy company anyway.
