37yo with an older partner. Never desired kids, and if I ever do, I will be adopting because I don’t need to add my genes to the pool. I’m a teacher, so I raise a lot of kids 8am-3pm and that’s enough for me! People think I don’t like kids, but it’s kind of like goats - they are so cute! I love hanging out with them for a bi! No, I don’t want to take one home, thanks!

I’m a 28m and married as well.

Any advice on how to retire that early? It seems like were barely able to keep our heads above water some days.

I’m a “SINK” I guess … single income no kids.

Not much to contribute other than jello fellow DINK. Good toeet you. 50/46 here and living firmly in one-more-year zone myself.

hi there!

i am 27/nb, married for over 5 years to my partner (28). i got permanently sterilized last year and i love it. we aren’t well off by any means, but we’re comfortable enough, have a house, and have the time to do what we want without being tied down by a kid.

we are both in the field of IT, so hoping to work our way up and start making real money in a handful of years. we would like to move to a different country as well (currently we are in the US). we love the freedom of the DINK life!

I recently applied for a promotion at work that would bump up my pay by about 50%. Would be a game changer for me.

Hi, I am a 30yo zero-offspring single man. This childfree living is the way to go for me. Do some of you people have any tips for handling relatives that might start outputting some “fill the earth” style stuff if they find out that I underwent vasectomy (I got that operation this week) 🤔 I am happy with the procedure, I don’t just want to get guilt tripping from my family or some friends. It’s kind of frustrating because I am a Christian myself, and there is a risk some people start saying some very mean stuff in real life. It’s a tough situation with some people, really. I don’t want to hurt their feelings and don’t want to say any mockery stuff to them, especially as I believe in “sky daddy” like they do, I just view some things differently from some of them, especially that “You have to make kids if you get married” stuff.

EDIT: I came to the conclusion on my own that there is just no reason to give a sheet about people’s opinions, that is, if some relative starts being nasty, I can just leave that place immediately and put that person on my ignore list. I am just so bored with some people sniffing around and gossiping about things that are not their business. I am not dependent on those people. My first-degree relatives are all pretty cool fortunately, there just are all kinds of people further down in the family tree.
