short answer...
Short answer, however you decide he wants to act/view life.
Does the mon actually have -Cow of Poverty- as in the feat? The dragon must beat him regularly for squandering his treasure, lol.
Or is that just an assumption on yoru part that all monks must live miserly? I don't think any such rule exists. Ember, the iconic monk, always looks like shes dressed in rags, but I can imagine plenty of scenarios that involve monks with high taste. Court guards for a sultan, a pirate with exquisite taste, or perhaps a monk raised by a silver dragon who always taught how important a persons presentation is, and how it's just not right to be caught at a formal party and NOT be in the newest most expensive outfit!
Depends what kind of character you are going for. But in general I think a silver dragon would normally teach about honor, justice, and righteousness....not to mention how much cooler and 'more good' they are than golds!
*edit* Meant to say Vow of Poverty above, but apparently I pulled a Froid and let slip my view of that particular feat, lol. Decided to leave it as is!

no, he doesn't have the feat. he did take draconic fist. (from either dragonmagic or draconomicon, i forget which.) it replaces his 1st level feat with the ability to do 1d6/5 levels of energy damage (cold, in his case) once per level per day. he also has improved init. and run. (can NOT wait until 18th level. he'll run almost as fast as a car!) and i was wondering how i should play either his inability to notice, or his desire for the following: money/treasure, and women. not in that particular order

Maybe he just views all things laid before him as a some kind of treasure/posession? Treasure, things, even the women/men he fancies.
Insert human logic/flaws into dragonlike, self-righteous 'I'm better than the rest' superiority complex. All things are justified(lawful) in the persuit of -true justice-(ie MY justice).

It's an interesting concept, but keep in mind that voluntarily choosing to have your character ignore personal wealth will screw over the character lots and lots in the long run. At any given level, you're assumed to have a certain amount of power from magic items and such- which, if you choose to hold no value in money, will be hard to come by. (True, you'll find items on NPCs you beat, but with no option to buy your own, you'll be completely at the mercy of what items your DM throws into the adventure.) I'd suggest either talk to your DM about including more non-money treasure (such as artwork, magic items, and so on), or choose one type of treasure that your character is all sorts of excited about (like silver or copper or rubies or something). That way, your character can still have the treasure he's supposed to have- but anytime you come out of an adventure with a large haul of gold, he immediately uses his share to buy an equivalent GP amount of rubies, has his converted to Silver pieces, or so on. He'll still have the money he's supposed to for his level, but he can still hold almost no value in gold or most traditional treasure.
