It's definitely not what you're thinking of, but the World of Darkness games have a similar system in that each character has a stat called "resources", representing their general level of wealth, and can trivially acquire any item rated less than that.
I think d20 Modern also had something similar, though it's been years ago and I'm not 100% certain that wasn't a homebrew rule based on WoD.
I know KDE has an option to disable this behavior, though I forget what it's called off the top of my head. Then it's just a matter of grabbing the window with super+drag to put it wherever you want.
