No around the corner magic shops!  Even if there were the cost of magic items in the DMG would add up pretty quickly to eat up 30K.  The heros would be well equiped at 2nd level but this would go away at 4-5th level I bet.  Besides the rapidity at which people level in 3E is atrocious so I don't think that plays out much in the long run.2. Have you seen the cost of land these days!  I don't know what the 3.5 ED equivalent is, but the old 2E castle guide cost a fortune to build anything.  I can remember my 7th level cleric had 75K and bought the land and enough to have my 10ft walls erected around my future monastery.  Mind you that took like 1.5 yrs to build.  My actual worship hall was a small wooden cabin.  Didn't have the funds to complete the build.3. Do you know how much it costs to resurrect someone?  Usually our group has an on running campaign that the story moves on while the PCs change.  Each person has 1-2 characters during the course of getting to about 10th level.  Every so often there is a guy who makes it all the way through.  He often becomes a player's and group's favorite.  Because he has been through thick and thin, the story often intricately involves him.  This is the rare occasion that someone needs to be resurrected.  Mind you it's not easy and often involves a quest but it is also expensive.  Say 30K.4. Don't you know you should invest in the future?  What group doesn't have a spellcaster of some type who will eventually be able to craft magic items?  Today's 2nd level caster is tomorrow's 12th level uber mage.  The smart fighter should stow his money away now and maybe his close companion can turn the ancestral suite of armor into something more special.I feel like this thread has turned into a DND economy lesson by Alan Greenspan......The mere influx of 30K of gold pieces will ruin the local economy casting the craftsman and laborer into the poor house, increasing costs for nobles, and throwing the "balance" of the game into chaos.  We the government of (insert favorite game locale) will begin with taxation by the government, tithing by the church, and theivery by the commoners.</blockquote>
