1) I'd like to get/have my money sorted out ( I need a synonym) before I leave for university.
I'm not sure there's a one-word synonym for "sort out" -- http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/sort-out -- but I'd rephrase the sentence this way: I'd like to have a good working budget before I leave for university.

2) I want the bank to give/issue me a credit card.

3) I've tried many times to stop smoking but I have never succeeded/managed to. (are both possible? YES)

4) OK (I'd just say "the beach" but "seaside" works, too!)

5) I can't help/I can't resist/I can't stop spending all my money on clothes. ALL ARE FINE.

I've just enrolled in a course at the university.

6) They didn't do anything apart from/except for (Can you think of other possibilities? but?) trying on boots all day!
They didn't do anything except try on boots all day.

7) OK

He has a new gadget for cleaning (to clean is possible? the car. YES.
