I should note that when I said the Bennets were like half a million vs. a million, I'm saying that Mr. Bennet's income is far less than that of Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy of course is even richer. IIRC, in the book it's 2000GBP a year, which isn't a huge amount of wealth, but it's pretty darn comfortable except that you have a LOT of daughters and the entail means that the estate goes to Mr. Collins after Mr. Bennet's death, so Mrs. Bennet and her daughters only have a relatively modest portion - not enough to starve in the streets, but definitely far below the lifestyle they're accustomed to.

It's not always obvious in adaptations that Mr. Bennet has been careless and didn't plan well for his financial future, but I suppose that's because the finance and marriage settlement part is real tough to explain to modern audiences.
