Some adults are embracing the DINK lifestyle, which stands for Dual Income, No Kids. This allows them to retire early, travel extensively, and enjoy financial freedom. For some, being a DINK is like a shortcut to the American dream, bypassing economic challenges faced by others. However, there’s a less discussed aspect: those who are childless not by choice but due to financial constraints. They would like to have children but find it financially unfeasible. It’s challenging to determine the exact number of Americans in this situation, as it’s difficult to track those who would want kids under different circumstances.
