What is the easiest beginning char to get through the game with when you're poor?

I mean, I have little fg, and most of the time am critisized when my gear gets to the point where it sucks, and I cant afford great gear, and people in catacombs are like "gtfo"

lol.. so.. ideas?

Fighter or barb.
Can easily get cheap weapons and if you can buy a tank armor you can easily get a cata group

I'd say a vit barb. Tanks are very useful and can be pretty darn cheap, you're just not gonna get the greatest EE plates is all.
