Molly Raised Her Family To Find Riches In Things Other Than Money
From Redditor u/nutr0nn:
It used to bother me that the Weasleys are poor because they are good wizards and could have money if they really worked on making it. But then I realized they are poor because they are more focused on being happy and loving each other than working their lives away.

Molly And Her Family Were Considered 'Blood Traitors'
From a former Redditor:
I think they also get looked down upon for being "blood traitors." Families who have a pureblood superiority complex (e.g. the Malfoy family) are disgusted by the Weasleys for having Pureblood status, yet socializing with and supporting Halfbloods and Muggle-borns. I think because of this hatred for the Weasleys, some people would do anything they could to make them feel "less than," so their lack of wealth was just another thing to bully them about.
