The only place in the world I can be rich is in my fantasies.  For me the SCA
is a fantasy game I play as a hobby.  I've been poor almost all of a long
life.  Sometimes grindingly poor.  Nobody told me I had to be nobility,
either.  
My supposition was that no one would chose to be a peasant when they could be
nobility, and since this is fantasy, one can be a rich noble if one chooses,
so why be poor?  I know the reality of poverty too well to romanticize about
how wonderful the "simplicity" of it can be.  
I guess a lot in this game depends on the angle from which you approach it.
