I wonder why folks are mixing up "she's poor/broke" with the reality of she just wants to build a nuclear weapon and that costs money 
She gets kicked out of MIT and come home to Chicago to a mother that seems to be ok financially, chilling with her friends in a nice apartment with no signs of complaining about paying bills or eviction notices. Apparently they own the step-dad's abandoned gas station with a garage just sitting there which will probably become RiRi's headquarters by the end. RiRi just wants expensive shyt that she can't get at Lowes or Home Depot. She had access to it at MIT but now she don't.
Also I think the gay dude's purple hair and nails are clouding folks memory. He's not the only black dude in this show and I'm not talking about Eric Andre. RiRi has a normal Black "boyfriend" that she's buys the headphones for and is trying to keep her grounded but I guess he's too boring for folks
