It's worth noting, in this discussion, that we should be also including the things we AREN'T paying for as relates to gil and worth.  I mean, we are told teleportation is expensive (at a few hundred gil), but our characters normal "living" expenses are sort of ignored.  Like our food.  We don't have to pay for food three times a day, we don't have to pay for inn rooms, nor do we pay for our taxes.

Now, I figure our characters PAY these things, they're just taken as read.  However, everyone's money goes into that and their equipment in theory, and that includes NPCs.  Your average wood-cutter has to pay for not just their equipment, but food, tranportation, carts, etc.

So it's hard to say, since all our goods we pay for are, necessarily, occupational expenses.

The best way to judge it is that Adventurers can make equipment trivial that even city guards say is expensive, like equipment and teleportation.  So several hundred gil is probably a HEALTHY chunk for even a soldier, much less a grifter in the Brume.

I'd figure that ten gil would probably pay for food or a drink on the cheap.  That seems to work pretty well.  A few thousand gil is a good price for an average adventurer's job.  Ten thousand gil is probably a good annual salary for a non-adventurer, probably twenty thousand for a soldier.  A hundred thousand gil is more than a normal person might see in a decade, a million gil is some manner of estate.

Of course, this is all academic.  Your characters' income isn't to be derived from your character's in-game gil.  Being rich or poor is a character trait and should inform your RP.
