Fallout – How many caps do I really need

fallout-4

My charisma is very high (11 with outfit and beer, before mentats) and I have Caps Collector 2 already. I am just under 40K caps now, bringing gear with value/weight of over 10:1 And I am thinking that maybe I am too much of a hoarder/scrapper as I do not run into good gear to buy from merchants.

So are there any must buys that I should save for? Or could I forget about picking up each Institute Laser and just focus on only on more expensive stuff to sell occasionally to have lower inflow of caps?

I saw the manticore armor parts which were at 16k caps each. If you invest into shops, you can buy even more expensive equipment, I've seen a modified, legendary weapon for 22k.

I think you never have enough money, but when you hit 100k, you'll have enough for a while. I don't think there is anything in the game which costs more than 25k.
