Indeed. In my country 20k EUR per year is a good pay, but even with a pay of 60k EUR|$ a year, that would mean paying the whole earnings of a month for something that is still at the crowdfunding stage and may just disappear into nothing.
If you consider that people have to, well, live with that money, that would mean multiple months of savings / disposable income.
If somebody has a family, that probably goes in the range of expenses that have to be negotiated with the other family members.
All of this necessarily reduces the number of people who can even think about partecipating in that crowdfunding, not to say actually decide to put down their money for it.
