You should never be paying for grad school, they should be paying you. I don't even mean this in a communist "students are workers" way, I mean factually to our modern world your professors sucked if they were gonna make you pay for your PhD. The main cost becomes field schools or field seasons as well as cost of living, but you get a stipend to do student-teaching that offsets the cost of living a bit.
Edit: I should clarify for folks that don't have field schools or field seasons, there are workshops or internships or summer projects or bootcamp which are the equivalent and will rack up a cost.
