I’m very curious - is your sister single? I ask because often low wage earners are being subsidized by their partner.

It could be looked at that way, or as a single-income house where the other partner is doing some supplementary income.

Even if technically true a single income household is rarely discussed as “one partner subsidizing the other” but once the other partner is earning something it’s a subsidy.
