I'm a stay-at-home wife in a "SINK" (single income, no kids) marriage, AMA!

I (27F) am significantly disabled by a genetic disease and a handful of associated comorbidities, which cause significant daily pain, nausea, fatigue, etc; my disability prevented me from completing the degree I was pursuing (I was so close to finishing, it just didn't work out), and makes it extremely difficult to hold down a job - even part-time and/or remote work.

I met/fell in love with my now-husband (27M) in 2022, at which time he was unemployed; we were living together and engaged by late 2023, he found gainful employment at the beginning of 2024, we got married in April 2025 (happy first anniversary to us!), and we bought a beautiful home together in July 2025!

I feel unbelievably lucky to not *need* to work a job in order to have my needs met, I know it's a MASSIVE advantage to be able to live this way, especially in this economic landscape. I consider myself extremely privileged to be a housewife before age 30, especially since my husband puts ZERO pressure on me to work or to bear children and be a SAHM.

AMA if you're curious! I'm an open book!
