We're very clannish in our economics. They give everything they find to their chief that they loot and steal. He gifts them with half of it. The other half goes into feasting, wassail, quaffing, weregilds, more weaponthanes and sacrifices to Orlanth. The heroes then share their take out amongst their bloodline. Usually cows happen at this point. Some is kept but we've really been treating Wealth as 'Resources' as per David Dunham's suggestions.
It works for me but its fast and dirty. But most of my players don't want to bookkeep coppers and silvers and the like. I suppose we're being very Conan-esque in this -- we have a sack of jewels and gold and suddenly its all gone by the next adventure.
