Gurps Wealth includes everything that could be considered money related, even free Status as an optional suggestion. And there's that pesky, but realistic, 20/80% split between what you have now and tied up in lifestyle infrastructure. That's the real killer for my character. I want well off with some contacts etc. to explain his uber-gear, but not Prince Richie Rich with all the hassle that kind of pedigree includes.
