By the time I get anough money the rounds are so difficult I had needed to buy more defense, etc. Send bloons as soon as Round 2 starts. The point of sending bloons is to increase your income, but it won't pay itself off right away. You'd probably have to last out about 2-10 minutes (Adding Camo/Regrow makes bloons more expensive, Grouped Rainbows don't give as much income, etc.) after you send out the bloons to have to noticeable difference in the amount of money you have.

Therefore, in order to get enough money later on, send bloons as soon as possible so it would pay off by the time you reach the later rounds. Also, to maximize your income, remember to send out grouped bloons (The reds/blues/greens/yellows column or row) and not spaced bloons. (The blues/pinks/blacks/whites column or row) This is the case because you can only have five types of bloons to be "queued" for sending, and sending out spaced bloons won't make you send out bloons faster than sending grouped bloons, and the faster you send out the bloons, the more income you will get in a shorter amount of time. You could have just said the top row is better for eco than the bottom row.
