He told me if you got the $$$, you basically buy it and it doesn’t take years of waiting.

You are acting as if it cost a the Gold at Fort Knox to pay for an annulment. The average cost in the US is about $500, many people spend that on Beer in a month, sports, cable TV in 2 to 3 months, etc, etc, etc.
Money really is not the issue at all with respect to annulments. Could be poor defense of the sacrament of Holy Marriage by the Priest Canon Lawyer charged with defending the sacramental bond, but $$$$ is really not an issue in the United States, $500 to pay for annulment can be easily obtained by a working poor person by just avoiding texting too much on your cell phone, curbing your driving habits to save on gas, etc,etc.
