When invading provinces for the intent to make money make sure they are the same culture group OR an accepted culture otherwise that is an instant 30% los of tax revenue straight up.
You will also need to wait for it to core as well so those are a couple of things to keep in mind. As to HOW to know which are rich, look at the litte box in the panel when selected a province and it iwll give you a run down of production and tax revenue etc etc.
Good example is Vlaanderan which starts with a textile factory and usually spits out 40+ IF you are dutch cultured.
i was bavarian and had no military,+3 stability,all bavarian culture provinces,no inflation high prestige,and was still defaulting on loans until i went bankrupt if i spent any at all.is this a unique situation that bavaria faces?
What did you take loans for in the first place?
Try to never, ever take loans unless you can get one of the interest reducing advisors when you take the loan, or else you'll get killed by all the money it will take from you.
What has brought you down can probably be traced directly back to when you took the loan.
thats what i really need to know.i annexed only bavarian culture provinces high stab and no inflation +20 prestige and even eliminated military,and only had an income of +12 monthly.is that what i should be seeing,because keeping inflation at 0 and not minting i can only purchase 1 division a year and maybe influence a nation even then those two actions may bring me down.i dont understand why,will you always be losing a little moneyeach month when keeping your treasury at 0.0?
How is it possible to be going bankrupt when you have no army? There should be no expenses besides the interest.
EDIT: Never mind, posted that way too late.
You shouldn't have to worry about obtaining a positive monthly income, rely on your census tax aquired on Jan 1st of each year. Bavaria isn't a particularly rich place but if you really have no army you should still be getting a lot of money per year.

Losing a little money each month is exactly what you should be doing. Inflation will kill you faster than losing a little money each month and living off of your census taxes from January 1st.
You'll lose a little money each month due to how all the different costs are calculated, and when and where they come out of your budget or treasury.
Can you post a pic of your budget page so we can analyze it further and attempt to see exactly what you are doing?

You need to make it so that the image is the only thing on the screen, then copy and paste that url into tags. You can quote my post to see how I did it. I used this link: [url]http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/7821/bavaria.jpg[/url]. You can get to that by clicking on the link you provided, and then clicking the pic to make it the only thing on the screen.

You're supposed to be losing money each month. You gain 15 a year, just keep that positive and you'll be fine...
If it's really a problem, you can take National Bank as a NI and then mint .10.

One thing is notice is that you aren't trading at all. Why is that? Why aren't you at least going for Novgorod, Ile-de-France, Lisboa, and Andelucia? If you go for those, you'll start making more each month and you will be able to cover your military costs.
Also, when you do have a military, go to the military page (the one with the hat) and lower your army maintenance all the way to 0 when you are at peace. You'll save a lot of money that way.

so the solution to my problem is in the trading? Alright im going to it my best.Thanks for showing me how to post pics as well.
Your main priority should be paying off that loan. Don't be afraid to mint to do it.
Trading will go a long way towards solving your problems. It doesn't help that you are in a relatively poor area, but trading will do a lot of good.
That is one of the very few situations where it is O.K. to mint.
when you acquire money through trading how often does the money go into your treasury?
None of it goes into the treasury, but it goes into the budget which then lowers the amount of money that comes out of your treasury every month, which then gives you more money at the end of each year.
