My experience has been that money is not the real problem.  Most agree to go until they realize the amount of effort involved.  They are just lazy....  The hunting trip looks good from the living room watching the "game" until they starting thinking of the amount of work, such as packing game, cooking, hiking, ect.  I went on a fishing trip several years ago that required two days of paddling to just get to the spot.  Caught huge smallmouth and walleye, showed the pictures to friends back home and they all wanted to go on the next trip.  They wanted to go until I told them the amount of time and effort it took, suddenly they had many excuses.  For some reason they would rather sit on a bar stool and talk about hunting/fishing but never get out, I actually feel sorry for them - not really...
