Trying to think where to go with that for the higher incomes. A working-classman or skilled artisan is probably about the same as a lowly peasant, but plus maybe 5-10gp to their daily food allowance for nicer bread and maybe occasional ale, cheese, and mystery meat (but not every meal every day). Would probably have a little more disposable income, too, because their goods and services are a little more valuable than that of peasants (see: armor prices). Maybe 30-35gp per day in addition to better food. So that would be 50gp per day, 1.5k per month, and about 18.5k per year? So it would take a worker around 3 years of scraping up every extra penny he can save to gather up the money to buy a nice little house in the city. Or, I guess, a nice little workshop.
