And I'm beginning to wonder if some of the characters are based on
regulars.

I shade off topic, I know, but does anyone else hate these types of
characters? Their characters live off a diet of turnips and water
because it's the cheapest. They're dressed in commoner's clothes. They
sleep in their armour (if they can).

Even my group's powergamer at least had the roleplaying skills to
flaunt his money at the closest restaurants.

My current character spent a large chunk of his starting cash on a

I had a wonderful session once where one of the players spent the
entire evening dealing with the brewery his Fighter owned. What was most
satisfying for me is that the player started out as a Munchkin
Hack-n-Slash style of player. Another character in that campaign had as
one of his duties the task of designing a monthly ball. With complete
themes, costumes and entertainment. Plus security of course... that was
a great campaign... *sigh*

Well, actually, the weird part is that the characters were all BSD...

Yeah. I've had guys like this. They are "saving up" to buy some kick
ass sword or something and they decide to save money by being a street
person. A well armed street person, though.

My characters like to live it up once they get some money. What's the
point of being a great hero if you live like a street urchin?

My chainfighter, Krass, regularly blows his coin on living extravagantly
(as listed in the DMG) whenever he has the chance.

For him, "extravagant living" means GOOD-LOOKING prostitutes and QUALITY
booze, as opposed to the usual half-orc wharf whores and goblin ale.

As with your group, no one in my groups are that bad. In fact, in one
of the groups shopping for expensive outfits, throwing expensive
parties, and generally flaunting wealth takes up far too much of our
session time.

In my "Ultimates Universe Greyhawk" campaign (an Iron Heroes/Elements of
Magic game), pretty much everyone is poor as dirt. I am reducing the wealth
as well, to a "silver standard" (pretty much, replace most gold with
silver). When they get rich, I am fairly certain they are going to live it
up.

Pretty much every campaign I've run in the past twenty years has
used a Silver based economy. I use Copper, Bronze, Silver and Gold
coins. Platinum still exists but is used for State transfers of money
from one nation to another. I also tend to have Electrum (mid-point coin
between Silver/Gold) as the Elven currency and Mithril (equal to Gold
but available in smaller sizes) as the Dwarven. Most Commoners can go
their entire lives and never see a Gold coin...
