I'm by no means rich, but it doesn't matter, because I don't have expensive tastes. 😉 I don't bother with Purple recipes, because I rarely play my 50s. By the time I reach 50, the character usually has a little nest egg of Inf (typically 200-300 million) that I pass on to my next alt. That seed money, plus whatever they earn along the way, is more than enough to set them up with Common IOs, the usual Health and Stamina procs, plus whatever other cheap sets I feel like experimenting with. I could make my characters more powerful, but then I'd have to grind or farm or marketeer, and I don't wanna.
