I mean honestly, you can craft everything yourself so there's no need to buy any items/weapons/armor (maybe raw materials) or you can just loot them. Yea you can buy houses but that will go away quick if u just buy them all.. training for skills? i guess... would be the only real reason i can see.. but then again that's debatable.. for some reason i just don't see a point in gold at all really in this game or am i just missing something? it almost seemed gold was worth more to you and was more useful in Oblivion please tell me im not the only one..

Furnishings for the houses you bought.

Beggars for the Gift of Charity...

Inns if you don't like the furnishing for the houses you bought...

Running out of ideas, and buying new ones...

Throwing it at poor people.

Achievements.

Getting guards to leave you alone when you've been naughty.

I can't figure it out. I have well over a 100k and I still loot burial urns for the 3 gold......

Absolutely nothing.

You can find anything you need somewhere out there so money is useless imo.

Pocket Cushion

No, really, I usually found uses for it. When I have enough money, I usually stop trying to raise it. That often takes care of the "too rich problem".

Nothing. That's why I had to mod the game to make everything much more expensive and to add more money sinks. In my game everything is very expensive (and sells for little money) even with Speech perks. And my character's money mostly goes to food.

Give to your friends and family? Put in a safe and RP as "savings"?

Fish-Breath? Food? No way. I don't believe you.

Purchasing incompetent miners.

Training Legendary skills...

Training Skills is pretty much the only reason.

This is what I do. I usually keep them in a few secure safes I own. Then I lock them with console commands. I only carry a few thousand on me at a time.

I give gold to my followers as a "salary". You can also give it to your Hearthfire kids as an allowance if you don't mind spoiling them rotten. I'll have to try the "savings" trick one day.

Hitting late-middle to end game with more money than you can possibly spend is a problem with lots and lots of games, not just Skyrim.

To buy training for skills you are not talented in.

lol, old habits di hard

For me, late game no point except to buy raw mats for crafting items (rather than mine/gather I'll pay the steward for clay/stone/logs on hearthfire houses, and buy the raw mats to do the building and furnishing from stores)

Plus I'll make decor for the houses using smithing (vs the random gods or putting up enchanted items)

I have almost 2 MILLION septims on my redguard character. Thousands gems, alchemy regents, ore, ingot, pelt and hundreds of soul gem all size.

She's level 83. What can I say, I have OCD with loot, I must loot all the bodies, containers.

I already bought that can be bought with money. Spell, training, house, etc.

Go into one of the rooms in your house, close the door, take off your armor or clothes down to your underwear, drop all the gold on the floor, in your bed, and roll around in it.

Almost every game of this sort has a serious "There's nothing to spend money on in the end game" problem. For example, I was previously playing Borderlands 2 and it has the same problem; basically in the end game the only use for money there is to buy ammo and to pay for the respawn fees (which are always 7% of your current cash so you don't actually need much).

In fact, since I completely emptied a Dwarven mine at Level 16, I'm already fairly rich (20k gold) in this game. I'm now Level 24, but I bought a house and fully decked it out and am still at 20k.

You can buy everything from every merchant in the game and then drop it all on top of Nazeem's head, followed by a CTD because your system could not handle all that mead and cheese and armour.
