How much gold do you think the average TBC player currently has and how badly do you think our current inflation will impact the community in WOTLK?

I started TBC roughly 3 weeks after release on a fresh account. It took me quite a while to catch up financially, and the decisions to mainly play paladin/mage helped in no small part.Having experienced this climb for myself in TBC I can't help but wonder how bad will it be for the new players coming in Wrath, after some have had 2 whole expansions to accumulate wealth.I know Wrath introduces a few solid gold sinks (Mammoth Mount/Kirin Tor Rings) but I can't help but wonder if this will be enough.Thoughts?
