I try to find an equivalent Wealth level in the RAW and use that as the starting wealth. It requires a bit of fudging, since the point values and the descriptions diverge a bit, e.g. "Working poor" for -20 points in Abstract Wealth and "Poor" for -15 points in B25, but it's workable.

That said, I would love expanded rules on this topic that incorporate starting wealth, Independent Income, and Debt.
