It does seem insane, but it is understandable.  As others have 
already pointed out, it is nice to create memories for the kids and 
to take advantage of the opportunity to travel.  My boyfriend and I 
are taking a vacation together this summer, even though we definitely 
can't afford it.  We've never been away together and we've lived 
together for six years.  We deserve it, and I think the Weasleys 
deserved a chance to get away, see some sights and spend time 
together as a family.


Hello all, Fred Waldrop here:
While I agree that it is great to take vacations, exspecially family 
vacations, but common since needs to be considered.
(page 8, PoA US) "A delighted Mr Weasley told the Daily Prophet, we 
will be spending the gold on a holiday in Egypy.... The Weasley 
family will be spending a month in Egypt..."

Why spend an entire month in Egypt? Wouldn't it seem more prudent, 
not to mention smarter to stay, oh, 2 weeks? That way you have a nice 
vaction and still have half the money left to buy school supplies and 
robes.
