In a "normal" game 20 points in Wealth gives a character, of any point value, 5x the monthly income of someone without it (p. B516). The pay raise is part and parcel with the advantage.

In this kind of game, it indeed is no big deal.

Like in old school gaming, Money buys you better mundane equipment. The really good stuff is the reward for Adventures!
