I think there is a big difference from needing money to survive and greed. I have no problem with a teacher of anything asking for a reasonable amount of money. It is the ridiculous christian televangilists and gurus asking for more than they could ever use. If they shared it with people who were down and out that would be different, but many have too many cars, mansions, airplanes etc. That should be a good clue that their teachings are worthless.
It isn't easy trying to balance that. You have something people want to learn and you have a mortgage the if not paid puts you on the street, it is reasonable to charge for your lessons.
