Guess I should have kept reading before I posted. :) (I made it to page 5! :P )

Thanks for hitting this thread. Dr. Kromm´s posts nicely address my questions. Including the roaming high status/wealthy adventurer.

I guess looking at things from my middle-class perspective it seems mostly like rich folks just sit around being rich doing whatever they wish. And, I suppose that an power-elite family fortune probably does provide enough (GURPS) independent income to allow for this essential running around doing as they wish. But I suppose that with enough inattention at least from the family pat/matriarchs the family income from investments might dry up if they cut out of the right wheels and deals from the star chamber due to upsetting the other members of the illuminati.
