This is not what "Universal Gurps $" means. That has the $ being the same amount of money regardless of tL or location. Cliffhangers 3e (and WWII 3e) have their prices in period dollars. Many other 3e books do this as well.

My comment about inflation was only to indicate that futuristic TLs used a $15,000 Starting Wealth the same as TL7 as if their had been no inflation. Late 3e books started increasing Starting Wealth at higher tLs.
