Some DINKs are using their higher net worth to retire early, travel, and afford luxury items.
But there's an even darker side to DINKs: The slice that forgoes kids not by choice but out of necessity.
It's difficult to parse out the exact number of Americans who might want kids but can't have them.
We know that the childfree group — people who don't want kids — might be about 20% of the US adult population.
It's contributing to a whole population of DINKs who can't afford to shed the moniker.
