[QUOTE="painandgreed, post: 3429109, member: 24969"] No, it's irrelevant that medieval nobles were straped for cash. Nobility and deficit spending has its advantages and that being that you can use credit to get what you need now and pay for it later, no matter if you can actually pay for it later. For that matter, I'm sure you can do reading of history and find opulent spending as well as being strapped for cash. Add in that this is D&D which as so many people point out, not a realistic representation of medieval europe*, and it really doesn't matter what things were like in RL. If you want to see my numbers, you just have to type in site:enworld.org "fantasy world economics" to google and look a bit. It's a long string of over a dozen threads on various bits of the game system. *Given that most lords could manage to convince a cleric of the plant domain to cast Plant Growth on their crops once per year, it can be expected that D&D nobles are one third richer than their RL counterparts anyway.
