Lyall Lupin is a pure blood and it's a pretty good chance his mother was a Black and some other pure blood...
So wouldn't he have access to a shit ton of money?
Even if he was half-blood; whether with a muggle parent and a pure blood parent or a half-blood with a half-blood or a muggle with a half-blood or pure blood; there's still some potential he has some inheritance.
I have this idea that he was either disowned or even ran away with Hope because he wanted to be with her. So his parents gave everything they had to his sister. When they died, though, maybe his sister added him in, but then he was so used to a minimalistic, middle class/poor life that he refused.
Or he just didn't like the money in general, ran away to be a Muggle, met Hope, moved to a cottage with her, and raised Remus his own way and not around all the pure blood rich mania he had grown up in.
He wanted Remus to think for himself, to be happy no matter what, and not be known everywhere. He wanted him to enjoy the world and be careful with his spendings rather than have everything handed to him. Or have him even potentially be influenced by his grandparents or hated by his grandparents since Lyall knew it was inevitable that the werewolf parasite would get them and change their son.
I have this headcanon that Lyall's parents were werewolf hunters, and that's part of where his mindset came from. That is also part of how Lyall became hunted and followed by wolves. He ran away in hopes to remove the curse, but he failed and it cost him his son... So he thought.
What if Lyall was just trying to protect his son all along but when he "failed" he blamed himself and stayed away as much as he could without leaving his wife and son? Because leaving them would put them both in even more immense danger. It could even potentially kill them.
Lyall loved Remus. So much to the point he stayed away and hated himself. He thought that was the best way. He learned once Hope died and Remus stayed over more often at the Potter's. As long as James' mother updated Lyall, he was okay.
Lyall was proud of his son for making friends and finding a partner, becoming happy and living a life he had taken.
Though the guilt never left. Lyall never stopped hating himself or blaming himself. His son had changed and was a werewolf but at least he was safe, loved, and had a mind of his own. That's all Lyall wanted.
