Grogs has some great suggestions.
I usually plan ahead if I intend to do massive early expansion via settlers and/or conquest and plan to build a lot of cottages, get my road network established asap, and found and spread an early religion. There are a few ways to combat expansion costs but it helps to plan ahead rather than have to react and catch up.
