WoW gold isn't like real money. WoW characters don't have day-to-day
costs they incur when they're not playing. Nor do they have to put
gold aside for taxes, a rainy day, for sickness, retirement, or to
send their kids to college. Almost every activity a toon engages in
produces some income. With even a very mild effort, a toon can earn
more money than they can spend, and it piles up. My main earns over
1000g most days, and I am not a major AH junkie.

I wouldn't even consider getting Vial of the Sands otherwise - its
currently the most flagrant of vanity purchases. I already have the
vendor mammoth, I have the Gigantique bag. But what else should I use
the money for? I can equip my alts with full heirloom sets, and still
have gold left over.

The 'don't spend more than half' rule is overkill, and I know it.
