Weasley family in modern society

  Using Weasley family in Harry Potter as an example.
  
  Mr Weasley works in the ministry. Despite holding a meaningful job, the wage he rake in can only allow the family to live comfortably tho' not lavishly. Mrs Weasly on the other hand, scrap and save for her children education and taking care not to spend more than it is necessary. No doubt the family live a rather hard life in today evolving society where everything revolve around money. But in my own prospective, they lead an even more meaningful and happier life than any ordinary people.
  
  Although this may be fictional, how will it be in real life. Will girl ever take a fancy for Mr Weasley or do they prefer someone who can provide them with better life offers as life is simply too short. Do girl like Mrs Weasley still exist?
  
  Please give your very honest opinion. Thanks.

  TooFree,
  
  I earn more than my guy, but he makes me the luckiest woman alive. Don't look at what the woman can provide you. Look at what you can provide the woman. The same goes for the females.
  
  No guy richer can make me feel as lucky as my guy. But can any of your girlfriends say the same for you? *smiles*
  
  No offence. But remember, when you point your finger at others, there are 4 fingers pointing back at you.

  Thanks for replying.
  Oh, sorry if I have offended anyone reading this, this trend is a genuine subsidary problem of my main one found here.

  It's all possible of course..? Theoretically that is...?
  
  However, note that you won't be able to control how Mrs Weasley might have a change of mentality or heart in the future (not to make it negative but just a possibility to be noted) and how the kids might have problems and needs of their own...?
  
  Hmm... So what is really all these 'uncertainty' about...? THINK ABOUT IT... What is pushing you 'forward' and what you think is holding you back...?
