Marie's birth family had lost their hereditary fortunes because of their involvement with Polish nationalism. Consequently they had to work, often at teaching, and it took Marie a long time to save up to attend university. Even after she and her husband became successful scientists, they didn't have a lot of money, but they did win the Nobel Prize, and Marie won another later.
