I'm more or less chopping out any "buying magic items over 3rd level of power." So that's spell potions or scrolls of over 3rd, and probably anything stronger than a dagger +1. If you get anything stronger, it's from a treasure trove or vanquished enemy. I'm even contemplating leaving out +1 bonuses for magic items in lieu of a secondary effect, such as replicating a feat power or just adding a bonus against a certain enemies. The enchanted dagger Lizardbane, double damage to reptiles, triple damage on a crit, something like that. It glows if a reptile is within 60 feet.
This is true, every PC needs to horde some diamonds for when he dies. Revivify uses a 300gp diamond, raise dead needs a 500 gp diamond, resurrection 1000 gp diamond, and at those very high levels True Resurrection is a 25,000 diamond.
So as deadly as the monsters are for giving challenge levels, I would suggest a heavy investment in diamonds among the entire party.
But you know I run the game by the book and raise dead type spells very frequent.

Cohorts with character sheets are WAY cheaper. And I'm sure someone has mentioned hirelings already...

Well, y'know, there are lifestyle costs RAW. Those eat gold pretty quickly, especially if your PC doesn't have a "day job."
If the DM isn't charging your PC lifestyle costs, but is still giving out baseline treasure, then of course you'll have lots of extra money. I'd be rich if I didn't have a mortgage payment!

Just like in the real world:
Buy property. Build palaces. Hire people to do extravagant things.
Exotic gardens, gilded armour, the fastest horse in the seven kingdoms, the best cook to throw the best parties inviting everybody who is somebody.
All in all, spend any amount of money to make the neighbours jealous.
Amass power by cozying up to the rich and famous to become richer and famouser.
Hire more people - you can always hire more people.
Become a patron of extravagant arts.
And, in the end build a huge tomb complex filled with traps and treasure where my mummy can eternally rest.
