Percy and the Weasleys' finances

Although it would be _nice_ if Percy were to contribute to the Weasley
family finances, what makes you think they'd accept it from him?  It's made
clear that while they're poor, they're quite proud and unwilling to accept
what they'd almost certainly see as charity, whether it's from Harry (who'd
split all his Gringotts' gold with them, but knows that they'd never accept
it) or their elder sons?

For all we know, there's already been Scenes where Percy, Bill or Charlie
beg their parents to take some money, only to be told indignantly that "your
father's salary is quite sufficient, and I want _you_ saving up for your
_own_ household---how am I going to ever be a grandmother if you're pouring
so much of your money into this house that you never set up your own?"

In the absence of clear evidence one way or another, I'd have to say that
Percy should be given the benefit of the doubt.
