I've seen people mentioning that they have excess gold in 5e, largely because magic items aren't generally available to purchase. So the question is, where are you going to spend all that cash?
- purchase a flock of sheep to herd through the dungeon ahead of you. They'll set off traps, and pre-feed monsters!
- boost your luxurious lifestyle to the maximum. Feather beds! A bard to announce you! Your own manservant!
- torchbearers and henchmen! Never carry your own backpack again.
- buy respectability. Purchase a knighthood, or duchy, or noble title for your half-orc barbarian. "That's SIR Bloodrunnel to you, peon."
- tired of defending your home city? Use your funds to improve its defenses. When it's attacked by a hobgoblin army, you'll be two steps ahead.
- become a bard's or artist's personal patron, gaining great art that immortalizes you in the world.
- commission a unique magic item. Put the word out you're hunting for one, or just find an ancient sage who can track it down for you.
- dress up as a mysterious wizard and hire 1st lvl adventurers in taverns. Send them into your own stocked dungeon, and prepare them for tasks you don't want to do yourself.
Okay, what am I missing?
