So what DO you do with money in the DCC milieu?

This question may have been answered already, but my search skills are apparently not doing the trick.
In my experience playing through a typical DCC module or three will yield riches beyond what the funnel-surviving former peasants could have possibly imagined. But unless you're a wizard, it kinda seems to me there's not much to do with any of it once you've bought all the equipment you need.
There are no training costs, no stronghold-building rules, no magic shops or expensive gear to purchase. Certainly wizards can find a use for all that gold to craft potions / rings / scrolls / etc, but unless the rest of the party gives the wizard all their well-earned gains, what's to be done with it?
How do folks handle this in their games? Do the PCs gamble it away? Amass it somewhere? Does wealth just sort of get ignored? I'm curious how you deal with it.
