So, after much musing, I have actually decided that it might be beneficial to drop Ascension out of the running for a core and to replace it with something else more money related.
One reason for this is that since I have not been using Emperor, I haven’t been listening to anything money related, unless there’s money scripting in Ascension, Mind’s Eye, Regeneration, RebirthQ/U or DIAMOND.
The other reason is that it hit me kind of suddenly that I have two potential play slots for Q titles at my disposal, if I follow my current stack of Q1 x Q2 x U1. I don’t personally care for alternating every other day to add a third Q. I can use Ascension in one of those slots and possibly enhance my custom in another direction.
So, I am now considering:
Primal Core <---- more than likely not being removed
Renaissance Man <---- open to input
Inner Circle <---- unless there’s another core that works with manifestation of mentors, this is non-negotiable.
My module list is similar to what it was, but I’m in the process of editing that so I won’t bother posting that.
I have considered doing the 4 core idea and adding either Ascended Mogul (which seems to be a good fit since I’ve already used Ascension), Mogul, (I have no experience with except in Emperor, but seems like an option to consider for wealth)…
Or Stark.
You asked earlier what my goals are, Mr. RV. My goals are to live a life of unabashed financial and sexual freedom.
Financial freedom looks like the ability to walk into a store of just about any kind, and instead of looking at the price tag to see if I can afford it, I am looking at what they are selling to see if I want anything.
An important distinction, to me.
Also, financial freedom to me means I don’t have to hesitate to help another person if I am led to without worrying if I’m possibly screwing my family out of something down the line. 
Sexual freedom to me essentially means that, within the confines of my relationship and agreement with my gf, that I - I should say, ‘we’ as she is into the idea - am able to enjoy the fruits of the company and attention of beautiful ladies and also continue to grow as a partner and father as well.
Which brings to mind… Emperor: HOM as another option. It definitely has money scripting I’m sure, I hear it helps with the family dynamic, business connections… It would seem to complement Inner Circle too…
So, yeah.
Tl;dr I am removing Ascension from the running unless I hear a very good argument, and the replacements are going to be either Ascended Mogul, Mogul, or Emperor: HoM, unless someone has an idea they wanna share
