help please!

Hi All, I am having this situation here and not too sure what to do. So me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 5 years, he loves me a lot with all his heart. I have to admit that he loves me a lot more than I love him. He has forgiven a lot of shit I have done to him. However, my family does not like him at all, due to our background and he is a drop-out from high school(I'm from a mid-level family, and he is from a poor family, his parent struggle to pay rent). Last week, he popped the question if I would marry him next year. I did not give him an answer because of this:

His parent does not work, the dad sometimes work part-time and get paid minimum wages; therefore, they always ask my boyfriend for help on rent and stuff. They also gave birth to a little boy a year ago. What I see right now is that after I marry my boyfriend, we will still need to support his parent as well as his little brother. When his little brother started school, we will need to provide more help. I do love my boyfriend a lot, but I also see that Love is not the only element in life. My aunt told me that it would be very hard for me to support my family as well as his parent and his brother.

Now the question is should I be with him and marry him. Or should I move on and not waste any more time if this relationship is not going to work. (I am 24 this year)
