The money loss issue has not been addressed. I am on patch 1.2.2.0033. Much of the time, when I load ANY quicksave, autosave, or manual save, I lose the bulk of my money to dozens or hundreds of "daily wages" notifications that appear down the right side of my screen. The game is essentially unplayable at this point. This started happening 40+ hours into my playthrough when I arrived at the Drowned Barrows, but it now affects older saves in other locations as well. I've attached a screenshot of what it looks like when the "daily wages" appear on the screen. But sometimes, I load a save an nothing appears on the screen, but a large amount of money (10,000 - 20,000) is still gone. I just did a test where I loaded the same quicksave 3 times in a row. The first two times, it worked fine. The third time, I lost 15,000 in money.

This continues to happen to me, and it's become a game-breaking bug 40+ hours into my playthrough. It doesn't happen when I load every save, but it happens often enough on new saves that I can't play the game without significant risk of losing all (or nearly all) my money. It started happening when I got to the Drowned Barrows on the North side of the map. It happens sometimes on autosave, quicksave, and manual save files, so there appears to be no way to avoid the constant looming risk that all my money will spontaneously disappear when I load a save. Sometimes, when I load a save and this happens, a bunch of daily wage deductions appear down the right side of the screen, like hundreds of days has passed (see attached screenshot). But other times, this doesn't happen, and yet I still find I have lost a bunch of money when I look at the inventory screen. And still other times, everything works fine. Any ideas? At this point, my game is essentially unplayable after 40 hours invested, and after backing POE2 at a high level, we still haven't received our physical backer rewards months after release. I love the CRPG renaissance this franchise represents, but it's hard to stay loyal when bugs like this are allowed to persist months into release, with a (NOW UNPLALAYBLE FOR ME) expansion coming out tomorrow, and no physical rewards.
