My first PFS character is now 9th level, but all this time, I never spent prestige because A) I wanted to save up for resurrection, and B) I never wanted to bother with the logistics of spending prestige points, which I haven't totally figured out.
Now that my character is 2 levels from being unplayable, I'm starting to think it might be time to consider spending some of the prestige. What would you do in my situation?
FYI, I'm a gunslinger 1 / inquisitor 8

You can get to level 20 now a days. The whole "no society play after level 12" is an outdated piece of information that just won't seem to go away.Its true ish if you're limited to meatspace. VERY hard to find a group to play with past that.
The trick is to get an Eyes group together. After that, you've all proven that you can play together, and there's pretty much no one else in the area at your exact range.

Spend it all on PP/3 for +1 hpWait, that option is legal in PFS???
After 1st level, if you own a copy of Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Campaign, you can use the retraining rules beginning on page 188 to alter your character. All changes must be tracked on your Chronicle sheets or Inventory Tracking Sheets, made in the presence of a Roleplaying Guild GM, and initialed by the observing GM. The GM can audit your character before allowing changes, so bring your character sheet and all Chronicle sheets to the GM. Retraining may be limited by time constraints. When retraining, players must expend wealth as outlined in the Retraining section of Ultimate Campaign, as well as 1 Prestige Point per day of retraining since time between adventures is undefined.
I did some idle daydreaming about using that boon you got along with slow-track to have ridiculous numbers of HP. Humorous thought experiment but I prefer not to slow-track.
Also, some very smart person made sure the Monastery vanity only works for retraining that normally takes 5 or more days.
Try to be the first character to 20 without spending Prestige!
Doing that means among other things, you're shirking your part of managing your healing by not buying the traditional cure light wounds wand with your first two points.

Only if you don't do some other means of healing.. it's not mandatory to get a wand.

The character in question is level 9.Doing that means among other things, you're shirking your part of managing your healing by not buying the traditional cure light wounds wand with your first two points.Try to be the first character to 20 without spending Prestige!
And if he did like one of the local players did and BOUGHT the wand? He's not boned the party.
Player in question has HORRIBLE luck and wanted to make sure he had options to survive death.
Nowhere in the guide does it say you HAVE to spend prestige.
I know some players, myself included, who don't mind sharing their wands

Purchase the Boon for 15pp. Use it during Downtime to regain 1pp.
Going Slow Track gives you up to 6 opportunities each level to regain 1pp.
A 3rd level character could purchase the Boon and essentially gain +2 hp/level when combining it with Retraining and Slow Track.

I pay gold for my consumables and bought two cure light wounds wands -- still haven't finished the first. I rarely use the wand because:
A) I got healing spells and usually have spell slots to spare
B) Don't take much damage from fights. Heck, the closest to death I ever got was a trap that almost one-shot me.
C) Usually folks have their own wands and simply ask me to use it on them.
D) Whenever I want to be a bro and use my wand on someone, another healer beats me to it.
