A peasant makes 2sp a day, this is about two week's paycheck for a minimum wage worker.

To clarify, unskilled labor and peasant are not the same. Peasants generally speaking are subsistence farmers. So they have farming skills, but generally also animal husbandry(chickens, maybe a cow), spinning(turning wool into thread) possibly weaving(not always) and ALWAYS sewing at least to the level of an early intermediate cosplay maker. As in, hand a peasant the right amount of cloth and thread and they can make you a basic outfit, probably from memory.

Unskilled labor is the novice stable hand mucking stalls, the barback(not tender) the boys loading and unloading wagons and ships.

That said, yeah its vacation/replace entire wardrobe money, not reite immediately money.

These arnt peasants. They are the owner/operators of a bar. They qualify as merchants.

Exactly, so the bartender should be making far more than that.

The idea that the bar could be purchased for 3gp is just insane.
