Why not to have kids 101

It's the economy stupid!

DINKs, (dual income no kids) have been gaining traction a lot lately. I want to know from the members of gravevine, what are their views on being a DINK couple or a DINKWAD( double income no kids with a dog). From financial prospects like having a huge disposable income to emotional aspects like not having a legacy or going against custom Indian tradition. Do share your thoughts 🤔💭

I am struggling in my career, in my post 30s too, stuck in jobs switch and upskillig race of jobs, no one to support you ( apart from the partner)I worry sometimes in this all messy life, what the hell I am going to do. If I am planning or having kids. ? Life is impossible sometimes, as we both are under constant jobs pressure.

And over this people want to have kids 🤦‍♀️ What will they even do here?

Dual Income and No Kids sounds very attractive but advice from people in their late 20s and 30s is probably too biased to be considered sound advice. Wanted to understand how couples who took that decision in their 30s feel today. Do you regret it? Do you feel purposeless? Do you feel lonely? Do you feel the FOMO? And so on.
