The mats and materias to make that double-melded class weapon will also be worth roughly 33% of their current values. Guess who sell mats and materias ? Me and you. So your income will fluctuate at the same rate as the market, your buying power will be pretty much the same as of now.
Income is stuff I have had to EARN BACK in order to get to where I was.

If an item is 30m and goes to 10m, but i go to 3m, I have to EARN BACK that 7m.

Income does not count because you have to obtain it back from what you lost.

And the more I get, the more other people get, and the more likely an item will set in stone at a price higher as it becomes more affordable, thus I have had to earn enough just to get back where I was in the first place.
