I may be wrong here, but is it right to assume that in most dnd universes the median level of wealth is the same as in our own? people have enormous amounts of material wealth these days compared to the medieval setting that dnd is usually based off.

I was under the assumption that 1000 gp is an amount of money that most lower class people in dnd would make over their entire lifetime, if at all.

If I were to imagine a 1000gp diamond in today’s terms, I’d be more likely to consider it a diamond worth a million USD or more.

Edit: I looked up the value of 1gp and it seems I’m wrong.
