Though, you're right, for all her faults she's not a very extravagant person. I actually live in Texas right now so I just googled some wedding stats and looked at a few local places and since I live near Dallas, the average price is about 28k. doing some very basic adjusting for inflation, I got about 2, 100 dollars.

There's an episode where Hank claims to have perfect credit, which is later shown to most likely be true when the negative report on his credit is reversed. He also owns a beautiful house, he's able to afford a new truck when his old one dies in season 4 or 5, he has a whole garage full of expensive tools and the Hills never really seem to deal with poverty problems like wondering where their next meal is coming from or what'll happen of Hank's truck shits the bed. I think they're just firmly in the middle class, not rich and flashy but certainly comfortable and not broke. Hank is just responsible, and it's kind of a running gag that he's cheap like when Khan loses his job and Minh wants to sell them Laotian lessons, and Hank says "I suppose we could throw a couple of bucks their way... And by a couple of bucks, I mean TWO bucks."
