It seems like everyone wants to be a DINK these days.
DINKs — households that are double income with no kids — are seeing their ranks grow, especially as a high cost of living and the climate crisis weigh particularly on people with children.
There are variations on the DINK (or the SINK — single income, no kids): You can be a DINKWAD, which means double income, no kids, with a dog. DINKWADS who previously spoke to Business Insider said that the lifestyle gives them financial stability, the capacity to travel, and the ability to dodge the ever-increasing costs of parenthood. And it's a lifestyle that's paying off, as DINKs emerge on top of a shaky economy.
So who are the DINKs of America? Their ranks are set to grow, they're making six figures, and they want to spend their money on their pets and traveling.
