Without a car, I was hard pressed to find an off campus job, much less one that would pay me well enough to cover part of my schooling plus my dues. I was lucky enough to have a merit based scholarship as well as subsidized loans and a grandmother who would help with my dues. Not everyone is.
Most PNMs do not know for sure which house they want to join, nor will they choose primarily based on $, but $ might keep them from joining any house.
... hope I make sense

Maybe she was or maybe she's just trying to be nice.
I'm not kidding though and feel no need to be nice about it.
For those people with expenses--cry me a river. As someone previously stated, it's a personal decision to pursue an organization. Many people would be able to afford it if they stopped eating out everyday or buying so many clothes. Similar to paying tithes or offerings in the church, people make the money and time for the things that are most important to them at the time.
Some people borrow money--whatever floats their boat in a legal and respectable way, as long as they have that money when it's time to pay up.
