It's certainly debatable. Taking a fresh character through the MSQ nets you somewhere in the neighborhood of 500k-1m gil if you're taking the payoffs instead of the crummy gear, and if you're playing one class you're probably not selecting whites? I don't know, maybe.
Buuuut you also need to be fully-ranked up to get a room, which does require some going out of your way to grind. Them seals don't come for free until you're ranked up enough to do turn-ins, and then you'd need to be buying gear anyway...
I don't know. As a blanket statement, anything under 1m is throwaway money this far into the lifespan of the game. If you're using the game ONLY for roleplay and have no crafts or gatherers or do no content and are only i89 then maybe, but this game just throws money at you if you play it.
