Planet Spenditure... Help! need advise.

Does anyone ever have a planet that is bringing in more than it is spending? I can be in control of 50+ planets and only ever have a handfull that are actually bringing in income. What's the deal?
In the beginning, I would pack my planets full of all sorts of buildings. I read a piece from one player saying that he only put the enviroment enhancements, entertainment centers, and maybe a shipyard on the vast majority of his planets to keep the spending low.
I tried this to no avail. I would build the planet enhancements (no upkeep), entertainment centers (2 or 3BC), occasionally a shipyard (2 or 3BC), and a banking center (0 BC). However, the cost of the planets would still be over their income.
Can someone give me some totally awesome advise on how to manage this, because maybe I'm just retarded.
Thanks in advance. :p

costs also include money spent on production and research, not just buliding maintenance. this is why costs are almost always higher than revenue.
