Just keep trying to level and hope that you're lucky enough to pick up copper lumps along the way, this is how I did it, and things just gradually pick up. Also, try to skip buying skills unless you're certain you need them. I generally don't get any of the passives, as they give pretty bad stats for their prices. I also skip out on active skills I know I won't use often during grinding (particularly the high SP costing ones). Don't worry about armors so much, focus more on getting your weapon. Damage is more important than defense when grinding usually. The only time defense is ever good is if it makes the monster damage you so little that you never have to use stones. Attack is priority because it lets you grind faster. At level 21/22 you've got a free weapon, so things should be alright for you at the moment. Try not to get too caught up in the looks of your character, the level 20 armors don't look very appealing anyway in my humble opinion.
