The DINK (Dual Income, No Kids) movement is definitely trending on social media. These households seem to be the envy of parents who are up to their eyeballs with all that involves raising children, but is the DINK lifestyle really all it appears to be?

In this episode, I give my take on the DINK phenomenon and why it might be ideal for some adults, but not for others.

I would love to know your perspective on the DINK lifestyle. Drop me line at drjermg@coolmeanderings.com or follow me on Twitter @jermdr.
