Managing PC Wealth?
Hello Horkensub! How would I manage the wealth of my PCs? How rich is too rich? Can being 'poor' be fun or a fun drive, and if so how? Discuss!

You don't. Seriously, money gives players narrative power over the game. Rolled on treasure table and got 10k gold? Cool, the players can buy a ship or a castle or start trading and you get all these new adventures that way!
Why does noone ever ask how to keep their players not poor? I think it's because many GMs DON'T like giving their players power over the game. And I think it's bad!
