That comment reveals the ugliness inside her that's always been there. As much as she pretends to care about social issues, she has never truly cared. People who are actually engaged with social causes do not spout this ignorant shit.
It's hilarious her talking about being 16 and having "no personal funds" other than her Saturday job, as if this is unusual or some kind of testament to her struggle. And notice how she specifies "personal funds", because she knows her family are well-off. Just because the money isn't directly in your bank account doesn't mean you aren't benefitting from it.
She then has the cheek to admit that she doesn't know what it's like not to have money, then in the next sentence proceeds to tell people to dream their poorness away. She keeps banging on about Workaway as if it's a gateway to free travel, but even if you can stay somewhere for free, the cost of flights to go across the world, in-country travel and other hidden costs still make the backpacker life prohibitive for a lot of people. And even if some people could technically afford to do this travel, lots of people have to prioritise building a career and savings because there's no safety net to fall back on. Jade can just move back in with mummy and daddy rent free if everything goes wrong.
I won't even bother explaining why her visa comment is offensive, but just to say Minerva has completely rotted her brain. She's seen some international rich kids get student visas and has now assumed that this is possible for anyone, everywhere.
