No, taking Dead Broke [-25] means that you can't ever get a Job, that the society considers you financially null one way or another, and that (in games such as Dungeon Fantasy) you can never earn money by selling off loot, for whatever reason (you constantly get ambushed by the mob on your return to the fence, you always donate it to the temple, you have a curse of bad luck in monetary issues, whatever).

This. Wealth has an impact during gameplay too.

It's not something I tend to be happy with myself (Why DOES everything you sell tend to sell better than the other guy?) but it's there.
