How does Hibiki afford being an idol?

Idols BARELY get paid. I mean seriously they don't get much money at all it's mostly publicity.

Ok, cross my second theory out. >.< That's kinda ridiculous that they don't get paid
RisingStar:
So it seems the only answer we agree on is that her family is supporting her, right? It doesn't sound so bad, really believable.
Or she could have a very kind landlady cutting her a deal because she's living by herself with so many animals. But then again, theories are theories.
Yodudes0:
I'm pretty sure idols make a decent income. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to support themselves while working on a job that takes so much time. There are adults who live off the money they make from being idols, so it's probably enough to rent or mortgage an apartment, if not more. Also, being an idol is a really stressful job as the anime shows us in episodes 11 and 23, so I don't think so many people would want to be idols without decent wages. Then again, many people do admire idols, so it could be that many girls want to fulfill their dreams and become idols anyway.

The major problem with this is Hibiki's story: She ran away from home and stated that she wouldn't return until she became a top idol (paraphrased, of course). Why/How would her family be sending her money when she ran away from home?
As for her pets, it's explained at the end of SP that 961Pro employees were feeding them. Takagi jokes(?) that Producer would have the pets fed out of his paycheck.
Just like any celebrity/artist under a(n) agency/label, the company takes most of the money (This is why most artists don't care about albums being downloaded for free, they don't get any real money out of it. Live concerts are where they make the real money). It's not that much of a stretch to assume that the production company would pay for Hibiki's living expenses.

Because they're her family and her parents love her?
