Major Edit: /u/myriada brought to my attention that Serebii's page should be understood as 'areas unlocked,' not, 'unlocked areas.' Thanks to /u/pumpkinking0192, we have confirmation.

The path you take doesn't matter after all, except to maximize clearing missions (e.g. if one area would offer two Pokemon that are needed for specific missions instead of just one). This guide is still helpful, in that sense, but the premise of its original creation is mistaken. I have crossed through the errant portions and added in brackets corrections.
Edit Dec. 7: Added a column for areas ignoring megas and a section on when the 3rd party slot becomes profitable.
Tl;dr: Main goal is to unlock
Let's be clear: your long term goal as a Free-To-Play player is to
How do I maximize my budget in the short term?
First, skip the energy gauge and party slots. You won't be needing those until you
Second, skip the Mega Pencil and Alt World. They cost 500 and 300, respectively, and if you earn 5 Picrites a day from Daily Training, that'll take 160 days; if you wait, at 13 Picrites a day, it'll take 62 days.
Third, save every penny for unlocking areas.
But wait, there are forks in the path after Area 5! Which way do I go?
[Some people go this way, some people to that way. Take the true cheapest option or look ahead on Serebii pages to decide which Pokemon you most want.]
not all areas are created equal either. Each area has a maximum number of earnable Picrites based on the number of levels minus the number of murals (6 Picrites per level, unless there's a mural, then it's 5). Thus, the number of levels times 6 minus the number of murals is the number of earnable Picrites for a given area. However, you will always buy access to these new areas at a loss. Not a single area (after the first) is a net gain in Picrites. (Note: the Alt-World is a complete money sink. You get zero return on investment! Do not buy until the end!) So, we must look to the Earnable Picrites minus the Cost of Unlock to see which route is least expensive.
I have pulled all data from Serebii. [Note: I am assuming that one can actually complete all the missions in these areas. I know that is not actually possible because some require 3 or more Pokemon, and we're not buying party slots. My assumption is that there are a comparable number of these missions in all areas so that the difference is negligible. If it turns out there is a cheaper route than my tl;dr proposal, please let me know and I'll edit this post.]
*Note: area 6 is only 6 Picrites better than area 7, financially, but one of the levels in 6 is a mega evolution, which you won't be able to access for now. Therefore, they're equal, and one should choose area 7 [FIRST] instead of area 6 (as stated in an earlier version of the guide.)
This is still going to take forever. Is there anything I can do to expedite the process?
Besides real money (because you are a proud FTP player!), you can get 3 Picrites from each medal, but by my count, you'll only be able to get about 30 of those through a slogging effort by the end of area 5. That's not even realistic to expect, but for the sake of argument, we'll say you can earn 90 Picrites from medals.
All I can tell you here is, once you've maxed out every other option available (i.e. you've completed all available missions and have 200 energy burning a hole in your pocket), look at which medals are available to you and figure out the fastest way to finish it. You're looking at the 50x medals as a great way to kill time on your way to Area 25. And believe me, you'll have plenty of down time.
[As far as doing these 50x medals, you can do these for 'free' by entering a level and using them and leaving. You can even reveal tiles even if you have zero energy left, so do this while you watch a show or movie.]
Ugh there are levels that require
No, you don't. Your gauge will refill while you're playing. Start the puzzle, do all you can, snap a picture with your smart phone, pause it, finish the puzzle on paper/ in your head, wait until you have the necessary energy to finish, finish.
[Even better, since you can use powers when your energy tank is empty, start a level bone dry, use the reveal powers that you can, pause the game and wait to come back when you have the energy to finish.]
I'm really terrible at these giant levels. I want a third party slot!
Tl;dr: Make sure already available missions can pay for the third party slot, then it's only profit.
Well, I can't stop you, but if you can exercise a modicum of patience, at least wait until you can pay for that third slot (50 Picrites) through missions that require the third slot. You're looking at between 10 and 13 missions that would be completed by opening the third slot in order for it to be a 'sound' investment. After that point, every new mission you encounter that requires the third party slot is actually a 'profit.'
Missions that require a 3rd Pokemon (ignoring Megas; data from Serebii):
03-05, 05-06, 05-07, 06-01, 07-07,
10-03, 11-05, 12-02, 12-05, 13-07, 15-05, 15-06, 15-07, 16-05, 17-03, 18-01, 18-02, 18-07, 18-09, 19-03, 20-06, 21-02, 24-01, 24-02, 24-04,
24-08, 24-12, 25-02, 25-06, 26-06,
27-01, 27-02, 27-05, 27-06, 27-07, 28-02, 28-04, 29-05, 29-09, 29-10, 30-09, 30-13, Rome total war create unit id list.
That amounts to 42 stages with missions requiring a 3rd Pokemon (ignoring Megas). If the missions can be completed individually but not altogether, you're looking at 3 Picrites per level, so 17 levels (roundabout Area 18, if you unlock everything in numerical order); if the missions cannot be completed individually, you're looking at maximum 4 Picrites per level, so 13 levels (roundabout Area 15, if you unlock everything in numerical order). Serebii does not list which missions offer murals as a reward, so I cannot confirm which missions are otherwise going to short you a Picrite.
If you want to improve your skill, consider my comment here.
Is this even worth my effort?
Depends on your interest in the game. You're looking at about a solid year of playing this if no new content is added (and so long as the new content is not behind a Picrite pay-wall, then it's actually free Picrites), so as long as it can hold your interest for a year, then I think it's worth it.
