People who married financially unstable partners, will you marry them again? Is love enough for marriage?

General (Women Only)

I’m a 27F and earn decently well. I met a guy two years ago. He is 31M and very nice, but he earns about one-third of my salary, which honestly isn’t an issue for me.
The issue is that his family is quite broken. He has four siblings, but they’re more or less like strangers to each other. His dad doesn’t earn and mainly relies on rental income, whose EMI is being paid by his brother. I recently found out that he has a ₹20 lakh loan in his name that his father took out for a business. He doesn’t know the details, and he doesn’t really talk to his dad.
My family is very different. We may not have a lot, but we at least try to support and help each other.
I want to marry this guy cz i love her, but I’m scared because I’ve worked really hard to move my family from lower-middle-class to middle-class. I’m afraid that marrying into this family could affect the life I’ve worked so hard to build.
Am I making the wrong decision? And is love enough to make a marriage work?
tl;dr please suggest?
