If you aren't buying magic items, where will you spend your gold?

[QUOTE="GameOgre, post: 6442065, member: 57914"] I played and ran D&D 1st edition for decades spending gold faster than I could gain it. Never once did anyone at our table buy a magic item. Instead we spent our gold on headquarters ,bribes ,tithes ,ships ,magical flying mounts ,high quality non-magical equipment ,land, henchmen , servants , helping improve locals that appealed to us such as friendly villages , bounties on the heads of our enemies , Flat out wasted entire kingdoms treasuries by living so wasteful and throwing such massive parties that we once had to sit through a sermon of the high priest of Stcuthbert in Greyhawk City about the evils of over indulgence and its effect on the good people of the city. We once funded a war. We bought too many towers and small businesses to count(and mostly drove them strait out of business because well, we were adventurers and not business minded people.) We often paid our employees WAY too much but in general we had extremely loyal employees! We bought so many high quality normal items of value that were extremely unique, not just things like Soft Dragon hide moccasins or Trent Bookcases but crazy things that we would get addicted to like Poached wyvern eggs for breakfast (we once spent 4 game nights in a row tracking down and gutting the evil SOB that cut us off from our preciouses poached wyvern eggs! Damn DRUIDS!!) [/QUOTE]
