It looks like a good start, here is some devil's advocacy.

You say you are not keeping track of income and expenditures. I agree that income is amorphous, but expenditures are definitely being tracked! Thus, why determine how much someone has on hand as well as their purchasing power? I think you'd be better served grouping item prices along a 0-5 scale too.

Even more nitpicky, I would expect Status and Wealth to diverge more often in a Victorian setting than in the Roman one. A noble family keeping up appearances despite being penniless is pretty much a genre staple - as well as ripe for story mining.

I probably should've said living expenses or everyday expenditure.

The Purse is supposed to represent the actual physical coinage one is carrying on one's body. It is immediately and readily available for any momentary expenses on the fly or for being picked from one's pocket; it is not meant to be an Everful Purse, therefore the preclusion of lasting acquisitions. Regarding the grouping of price ranges, incidentally I am planning on boiling them down to ten categories; five will just not allow for sufficient differentiation ( I'm open to suggestion, nevertheless).

Well, that unbearably condescending nitpicking of yours: First of all, thank you for pointing it out! Do you mind my boldly quoting myself: "[...] first and concise draft [...]".

Seriously, I'm well aware of the persisting inconsistencies and contemplating on it; impoverished (still more affluent than any law-abiding worker, as Master saethone so successfully ninjaed) gentry being the minor problem, compared to many Middle Class Industrialist surpassing all but the wealthiest noblemen. Archetypes/Talents should present a viable solution in the future, if necessary, as I'm planning on keeping the Archetypes (Commoner > Working Class; Retainer > Middle Class; Noble > Upper Class) from my first post with slight modifications.
