Millennials are embracing DINK—dual income, no kids—as a lifestyle, prioritizing financial independence and personal goals. 

Raising a child in the U.S. costs over $300,000. Millennials are opting out to avoid this financial strain. 

The DINK lifestyle allows millennials to focus on careers, travel, and passions, creating a more balanced life.  

Environmental concerns play a big role—many millennials feel responsible for reducing their carbon footprint.   

This trend could lower GDP by 4%, as fewer kids mean reduced spending on education, toys, and childcare.    

Fewer children now mean a shrinking workforce in the future, potentially straining economic growth.  

Social programs like Medicare and Social Security could face challenges with fewer young contributors. 

While the economy might slow, millennials gain financial freedom to invest, save, and pursue quality life experiences.
