D&D 5E Monk's starting wealth

[EzequielPR]

while everybody get xd4 x 10 gp, if you want to roll your starting wealth, my book says the monk get only 5d4 gp. Is this a mistake? Am I missing something? Also it makes the table to look ugly.

This is not a mistake as far as I know. Monks take a vows which include
not having a lot of wordly posessions. They can only use simple weapons
which are inexpensive. they wear no armor generally. they live a life
of simplicity and meditation.
