The invent points you have are a limit per category- if you have 20 points, you can spend 20 on Gadgets, 20 on your Buster, 20 on your Suit, and 20 on any constructs you build.
Having the time and money available doesn't mean you can make 8 different 20pt busters, three 20pt suits, an army of 20pt constructs, and literally millions of gp worth of magical items at a twentieth of the price. THAT would be too much. The points are not spent, they are invested, if you make a 10pt construct that means you can still make another 10pt one or two 5pt ones, but if they are destroyed those points are freed up... they are not lost permanently.
It's a cheap class, but some of its abilities require you to reup every once in a while... you'd still be going through 200 charges on a staff before you meet what a regular caster would have to pay for theirs, keep that in mind.
