...but i'm not really trying particularly hard to raise more.

Housing drained all my gold, but at least I now have several places to live.
The free "wayshrines" (houseshrines?) are super useful when you start a new character.

I've never had more than about 14000 and I've been playing for over a year! I spend it as fast as I make it. I currently have 780 gold

I'm at a little over 3m... I have the habit of spending way too much money. Earn quickly, but spend quickly as well.

I have little to spend money on this game. I have both the money and the more expensive stuff, like gold tempers and nirncrux, the more valuable alchemy ingredients etc. I'm really dazzled that people actually have so little money, even after 1-2 years of playing. For the first 6 months, while I was at pre-vet, and low vet ranks - reached VR16 after about 3.5 months and the CP cap at that time, which was 501 after another 4 months - I did in deed have very little money because the gear I was getting was low level, and could be vendored for less (nobody would have bought it on guild stores), and all my money was eaten up by bank and backpack upgrades on my main. I think I've spent around 1.1M on those. But since then it has mostly be going up, and noticeably faster that way once One Tamriel came, I trained other characters and all gear was leveled to CP160 and thus became useful and could be sold on guild stores. Also the mats were maximum level everywhere, and the max level writs could be done and turned in in Belkarth, making them available for everyone. I had probably around 5M when that patch came. Even if I buy an expensive item, like a weapon from a set that's considered BiS, that wouldn't cost me more than a few days' earnings. So what do people actually spend their money on?

No option for over 60mil? Disappoint

I usually float around 1-2 million. Whenever I get more I throw it away to make other peoples game more enjoyable. What's the point in having gold if you're not using it to make others happy? For example before housing I gave away the entire games motif collection (estimated value 9 million gold) as a prize in one of my Guilds. Then for my own Guild I poured 20 million gold into a Manor just to make a place that we could all enjoy and populated it with 34 attunables (so far) just to make the game easier for my friends and Guild mates. I then invited an RP group to use it as well to enrich their gaming experience. And all this is from hard earned gold without a single exploit or hack. Anyone hoarding gold or making it by cheating or to the detriment of others really needs to take a long hard look at themselves. It's a game. Enjoy it. But more importantly enjoy it with others. All the gold in the game won't make your p.e.n.i.s any bigger

As a BWB4LIFE'er I'm always, always broke.

And I'm okay with that!
