A new survey from MarketWatch Guides finds couples in a DINK relationship (“Dual Income No Kids”) are four times more likely than parents to say they have no financial stress. What’s more, they accumulate money at a faster rate. DINKs report saving twice as much as parents each month ($908 instead of $413).
According to the America’s Families and Living Arrangements data published by the US Census Bureau in November 2023, childless couples make up almost half of all coupled households, up around 7% since 2012. The trend suggests that, with mounting economic pressure, more people choose to remain childless for financial reasons.

You either want kids or you don’t, and if you do they come with a financial responsibility. Loved being DINKS until we started our family and absolutely ZERO regrets – couldn’t imagine life without the kiddos!!!
