THAT part of it is great, yes. But there are other problems. I don't have my books with me, so I can't be certain about these, however...

I have a couple of problems with the Wealth rating too.
If a PC is naturally thrifty he'll save, if he is a Storm Bull he'll blow it all. No HPs needed.
If you are going to charge HPs for money, new friends, contacts, ... where does it end. If you defeat someone in an argument and people take your side, do you have to pay HPs to keep them on your side?
I suppose I can see the argument for this but I have chosen not to use it for wealth.
