“You’ll change your mind.” It’s a phrase DINK—double income, no kids—households hear regularly from colleagues, family members, friends, and even strangers when they say they don’t have (or want) children. Yet couples choosing not to have offspring are a growing minority. The proportion of married couples in the U.S. deciding to have children has more than halved since the 1960s, according to the most recent data from the Population Reference Bureau. There are a number of financial and societal impacts that come with not having kids, DINK couples told Fortune, and although there are both negatives and drawbacks to that decision—none of them regret their choice. Finding their way to the positive side of their decision, however, is not always easy. finance.yahoo.com/news/no-dink-couples-don-t-145739019.html |

The DW and I don't regret not having kids.
Seems a bit of a non-issue, for us anyway.

I could be wrong of course. |

Every person lives life how they choose. Back when I was young ( 1982) we both wanted children. My son( an Iraq war vet and Army SGT, and my other angel Christina born in 1989 is a Dr. The first Dr on either side I know of. I'm blessed because life could have had them on the streets or worse. I guess My ex and myself did something right. I have 2 good friends who got snipped and wanted nothing to do with kids. One of them gave me a man to man talk and pointed me to my 👸 Sandra 😁
