Maybe they are not good money managers, as someone mentioned
when this was discussed before.

I've met quite a few people who blow all their money on
things that are not really necessary, but fun, and then they
wonder where it's all gone.

But the way JKR plays up the Weasley money problems makes me
wonder if there's something else behind it.

There are several theories out there, including Arthur being
blackmailed.

I guess we have to wait and see (and I hope the wait isn't
too much longer. It would be nice to have more canon to
discuss and see which theories fall flat or become more
likely!)
