My thought was, so what if they do? At least you'd get it all out up front... can this person really afford to be here, or are we "wasting" a bid on a girl who's just going to drop when she hears she needs to write a check for $400 right away?

"My dad works for Enron!" Yeah, that would have worked LOL.
Seriously, asking what someone's parents do the minute you meet them is really intrusive and offensive and not necessary. Plus it's pointless - you never know - the parents could be both working at Burger King and the PNM has a trust fund reserved for her from a great aunt or something. Not to mention the people who have "high prestige" jobs that are in debt up to their eyeballs.
By all means, have financial info available so the PNMs can judge
for themselves if they can afford it - but for someone else to make that decision from stereotypes and assumptions is pretty repulsive.
