Allow me to respectfully disagree. I will be purchasing my first Totem of Posterity in just about four hours, and by my calculations it will be the most profitable structure I ever purchased just as I'm at the point where I can use a lot of money.

A bit of background: I'm at the very start of level 26. I've purchased all of the regions I can (all of the water, all but the final sliver of land that I'll purchase at level 27). All of my dollar-generating properties hit their gold-dollar point at four hours or more. My land regions are completely full of roughly 100 dollar-generating properties (most at level 5, but many are cheaper properties like my 20 cafes). My water regions contain 36 waterslides (all at level 0; I can squeeze in about 13 more and intend to do so). I check in every four hours and generate roughly $400,000 in revenue before repairs each time.

That totem of Prosperity will generate me an extra $10,000 **per hour** and those extra dollars will be very handy for 1) upgrading those waterslides, 2) replacing those cheap cafes with higher-revenue properties, 3) purchasing that final sliver of land at its ridiculous proce, and 4) eventually going after all of those awards that really aren't worth the money it takes to achieve them.

As a reference point, my second-best use of golden piastres was the Atlass Hotel, which for half the price of that Token of Prosperity generates one tenth of the income. And yes, you're absolutely right: I've lost a dozen golden piastres by fat-fingering instant upgrades, and I spent another 15 on a Fireworks store (a youthful indiscretion which I demolished a long time ago).

As soon as I purchase this first Token of Prosperity I'm going to start saving for my second one.
