Nothing is expensive at TH7.
Enjoy the farming while everything's cheap.

You just need to see the costs at th9 or 10 to see how cheap are the upgrades at th7 and how the loot is worse. Farming is your way to upgrade everything fast. Stay at gold leagues or Silver I. Good Luck
Up to you, really. The deal is, farming makes your base grows faster at the cost of your real time.
First of all, if you think TH7 upgrades are expensive then brace yourself for higher TH's
Secondly, the main task in this game is to farm and upgrade so if you want to get anywhere fast you need to keep going
I like "parming" (pushing and farming XD), I'm a th9 and I'm currently parming in masters at 2700+... A twist for people who don't like just farming.
-I am gaining a good amount of loot while doing this :3
Drop down to Silver 1 or 2. My TH7 mini there get's easy collector raids. At this range, you will also find many TH6's and TH7's to attack, so even a storage raid shouldn't scare you much.
