Yes, it constitutes a contempt of court charge which is a separate offense from the DUI. If you can not afford to pay the fines contact the court to work something out.

If you are convicted of a DUI you could lose your life savings paying fines or restitution to the people that you have injured it killed?

It's certainly possible. If you're only convicted of DUI, chances are you didn't injure or kill anyone in the process. There are certainly fines to pay, and you would be responsible for any damage that came of the action. If you manage to injure or kill anyone during a DUI, I imagine the fines are the least of your problems. You'd be looking at person-felony charges, which are generally more concerning.
