The way I would handle this, as your GM would be to allow you to convert your Wealth (the 80% of it that you don't have access to for gear) to cash and lose the Wealth advantage. I'd give you some percentage of the actual value, not the full 80% (though it would be a substantial percentage of it). The loss would represent real estate and bank fees, if you like.

I'd be interested to see how you think your current situation should be represented in GURPS. That might be more productive than calling Bill's suggestion an "ugly kludge". I'd be more than willing to give you another point of view on how that could be represented.
