- How Are DINKS Winning The Economy? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
DINK is an acronym for households with double incomes and no kids.
They have become all the rage thanks to social media and the high cost-of-living across the world.
DINKs are winning the economy. Their savings and net worth is higher than that of other family types.
How is that? And are DINKs good for their countries?
Palki Sharma tells you.

DINK is not a bad idea. I am NINK ( No income, No Kids ). So its OK
Wow, me too! Wanna become a DINK?
@@vivek-420 he doesn't appear to be a homosexual mate
NINK. LOLOLOL
😂😂😂
Haha. I'm not far behind!
Her dialogue
‘Musk has 10 kids that we know of’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
and 2.5 B net-worth.. so it's easy for him to speak what he wants and do :D
@@dhyanapadi15it's not that, but she telling the number of kids that we know of! Don't know how many we do not know 😂
@@gamesnsnacksDefinitely a few more with some supermodels and actresses who have kept quiet in return for a lavish lifestyle.
I opened the comment section to say this. 😂
@@anandmehta2323 eww! He is really gross
I think the loneliest people in the world are those sitting in old folks' homes waiting for their children to turn up and visit.
😂 precisely.
Over the years, the opinion I have formed on this topic is - Have children without having any expectation from your children. Have kids for the sheer joy of bringing a helpless life into this world and raising it into a good, productive citizen of the society. In other words, have kids just like having a pet dog - You enjoy being around your pet. But you don’t expect your pet to take care of you in your old age. Have children with the same mindset. Else, stay child free. You will be doing yourself, the unborn child and the world a great favour.
Brilliantly put, agree with you hundred per cent.
But sadly, most see children as "stress-busters", post-retirement plans, quick fix for loveless marriages and a medium to channel their personal frustrations.
What you typed is unachievable , maybe an enlightened monk can do it . Not regular humans
@@Crappybara.-.It's so achievable...... You just are too........
Be single!! You'll do even bigger favour to everyone!
Exactly agree with you...100% don't have kids with the expectation that they will be your insurance for old age...
Some people think No Kids, is because they want to enjoy life....
There is different side to it...they decided to have no kids because they know how shitty the life is, or the system is.. they dont want another life to suffer.
If you dont think you can be a good parent ...why bring a new life?
Its not just party and pleasure ...its more about realisation!
The government need slaves that it.
Whoa👏 I have never heard this from anyone in my community except from me. Happy to see a similar thinking
Exactly my thought
Loser take. Keep crying about how bad life is
Happy to see people with similar mindset
In India we also have
No income Ten Kids(NITK) group😂
Most belonging to a certain community 😂
@@bob-nw2cn and they also become PM later
They also explode randomly 😂
DINKS will end up paying for NITK ( No Income Ten Kids)
😂😭those are the ones who get butthurt seeing this video's existence and they say "oh noo you guys are sooo selfish" because they can't stand the thought that people who don't bear the same burden as they do exist because dinks did not make the mistakes they did.
My wife and I have been together since high school. Married 13 years. Our choice of not having kids was survival. There is no way working class folks in today’s society could retire early without a house payment. Economic survival, plain and simple.
Selfish behaviour. Instead find ways to earn more income and have kids. Save this world.
@@manojsuri007utter bull shit. It's only one of the two - have kid(s) or save this world. Both can never happen! High time to realise.
@@manojsuri007Nothing wrong with being selfish, why to work for something that they don't believe in, I agree the world should be saved because it's dying because of human overpopulation.
@@ss0498 world is not dying because of over population. World is dying because of the developed countries using more than 75 percent of the resources. For eg US which is just 1/4 th of the population of India but has been the major cause of global warming. Infact US uses 4 times more energy and other resources as compared to India.
DINKS are a blessing for the Earth and a solution to climate change 👏👏👏👏👏
no need to worry about climate change if everyone is dead right?
@@user-br6ve4lz6n That's a bit radical. We are 8 billion human beings, it is almost impossible for us all to die!!!
@@user-tg2yu3mo3b if no one replaces themselves, we'll be gone in one generation.
@@user-br6ve4lz6n Human beings have demonstrated exponential growth in our history. Never ever in history have we experienced an exponential decrease!!!
@@user-tg2yu3mo3b Never in history did we think boys could become girls but look at us now.
Its better to have no kids then to have and not care for them. Not just financially but also emotionally. Relationships are easy to make but hard to meet the other person's expectations, especially when it comes to children, whose entire identity starts with you. Its a lifetime commitment that sometimes even great parents can't manage. But if you are ready, sure have as many kids you want. Money will somehow find its way.
We are a slave species and our masters want us to birth more slaves for their wellbeing and protection.
I think our civilization has reached a point where we should question the purpose of everything we do and only engage if it suits our life goals.
Following others blindly is a very bad idea right now.
It's not even worth getting into any sort of relationship! Just stay single and be super happy
If only peacefuls in india thought like you.....india would have been saved
@@sharmas7586 where does all those subsidies goes ever thought about that. Prime time to stop subsidizing people's with more than 2 kids.

M Community won't agree, bro their stuff involves (p-gamy) 🤷🏽
A perfect recipe for disaster.
DINK will get popular in India too, have seen few couples adopting this in my work circle, affluent ones!
Muslims will never stop it's we non muslim who are digging our own graves within the upcoming 15 years because still I saw many muslim couples have at least 3 to 4 kids so that means India will become Islamic country.
Be ready to become a minority then.
The community(ies) with a higher birth rate, a higher TFR will become the majority.

how about having double income sources, no marriages no kids !! thats even better and im enjoying it
You will be lonely
@@manubhat2922 so are most married people. Those with kids & parents, feel lonely ALL the time. You are wrong if you think marriage kills loneliness.
these are your best days of your life.. Enjoy it. i was married and has child. Still felt lonely. Now i am single mother and my child is also independent. Now i m living alone . I feel these are best days of my life.
what i want to convey here which were situation you are in just enljoy it.
All situations have good and bad both.
@@manubhat2922Ate you kidding? I have no gf and I am 33 so far I haven't felt any loneliness. I am busy with work and have tons of games on steam to play besides I go to the gym too. Too busy to be worried about family. Only thing you'll miss is physical intimacy.
😂
but in India, these DINKs must be less than 5% of Indian population. Most people around here are getting married & having at least 2 kids, no matter what their financial situation. Someone in comments mentioned, we have recently overtaken China in population. So, guess we don't need to worry about DINKs.
You are lagging for 10 years. The current fertility ratio is below 2. Most of the new parents are either going for 1 children or 1-2 children.
If you add all the children from 10 new couples ( married to 7-8 years) near any posh mohalla of any city you will never get the total of 21 kids ( ideal replacement ratio). It will be hardly around 15-16 kids.
So definitely the next generation kids ( after 10-15 years) will be around 40% DINKs.
@@ANISHKUMAR-lv7vt but what you say is based on assumption. because for India there is no real data. DINK is a Global phenomena. it may be happening in Higher percentage in Developed countries. But in India? not really. Indians still give lot of importance to child birth.
Also we are not talking about the replacement rate here. that is different from DINK. DINK means Not having even a single child.
I am an indian and i want 1 child only
Many in my neighbourhood have 1 child
That’s not reality around 21 percent Indians are not marrying including me so trends will change very soon but I think people will opt out for staying single than being dinks because Indian marriages are not fruitful for men’s
As a devotee of lord Hanuman I want Indian men/ women to follow the path of Brahmacharya upto the age of 25-28
Then follow ekapatni barata (men)/ pativrata dharm (women) with having two kids as Lord Ram or one kid as Lord Buddha
Jai Bajrangbali 🚩
😊😊😊
It's quite educative to know about your research and analysis on DINKs.
Wish you'll give one such presentation on NIMKs (no income many kids) in South Asia, particularly in India!
Yeah it’s very popular among mslims no income dozens kids
Haha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂laughing alot. NIMKS are the majority in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Don't worry for us Childern are more important then money.
They are the carriers of us in this world.particularly India
Deen ki dawat hai for such people
In India kids doubled as labourers
Still better than overpopulation and poverty. India needs to implement this or some form of population control
Bachhe to bhagwan ki den hai😅
@@davisvincent3247 That is true.
@@VishalSingh-gh7qz True but we need to have control. Difficult times are ahead.
@@davisvincent3247 That depends on the couple/parents.
When they want to have, let's say, 3 kids, why should someone stop them ?
@@VishalSingh-gh7qz If you are rich and have sizeable land to pass your next generation, you can have as many children as you want. But the thing is 90% of the population does not have resources to sustain big families (more than 2 children).
Land is the real wealth which is decreasing day by day.
A lot of people don't realize having kids is a choice. I like kids, just didn't want the responsibility or expense. I'm 63 with no regrets. A lot of people my age are financially helping their adult kids or raising grand kids. I've also learned at a young age to avoid debt as much as possible.
Just asking how am I suppose to find a partner with this mindset?
@@vaibhavkumar9072 It can be difficult. I guess the question becomes what's more important to you. Being firm with you're child free stance, or being open to compromise.
You sir are an inspiration for many childfree individuals.
kids are just a lifetime liability, with ZERO return.... so stayfree, enjoy your life as its too short to get uncessary burdon....DINK rocks
Don't even get married
@@tradingwizard562 i am happily Married for 5 years now , it's personal choice 😎
Burden for sure.
You were once a kid
@@KeyalaDaka Miss times have become tough, global warming, droughts, water scarcity, rising inflation, pollution, the previous generation literally abused the ecosystem and todays generation is following the same trend, so now I ASK YOU IS IT THE WORLD YOU WANT TO BRING SOMEONE AND LET THEM SUFFER IN THE COMING YEARS ? Because Human greed has no end
In India people leave their parents at old age and don't want to take care of them. It happens in most of the cases and also they fight for their share in the property and pension as well but they cannot serve their old age parents or even take their health care. When their parents die they occupy the property and fight with the other siblings who have taken care at the end stage of their parents. So sometimes it feels that having no kids is a better choice.
It's parents choice to write will to give away their property to anywhere else.
Or use it up in their lifetime.
Second there is nothing wrong in better old age homes.
If you can't stay at home, nobody is there even to talk to older ppl, it's better they r in safe comfortable zone where they can live in independent space , talk to their age group..
In India , the privilege of taken care by kids is only for boys parents.
From 1000s of years , parents with only girls kids should be alone , and no one will take care of them.
Even daughters taking care of parents is done only in this generation, else that privilege is not fit them even in 80s 90s.
Nobody should expect that someone ll take care of them
They should take care of themselves.
It's again good to be old age homes than stay at confined spaces in cities within 4 walls, no one to talk, no body is at home, even if they fall, or any heart attack etc nobody will be around to take care of emergency situation..
If they r in old age homes these things are addressed and also they get to talk to their age people .
To have more peace and easy progress go Dink. The 👌
Parents are selfish as well ., for example - Indian moms can’t just let go of their male children even when their sons are married and are having kids!!
Yes -
Some people leave their aged parents in old age homes - which is again not always with evil intentions !!!
No
@@classnclassics7252spot on
We need atleast 20-30% People without children to solve overpopulation problem coz rest 70% will continue to have 2-3 kids
How great would it be if 20% mus*ims stop having kids , it will cut down , 5kids per family 😂
We need lions ,not pigs. No point breeding pigs. The former better the world the latter ruin the world.
tell that to india
@@aaaryan_goel India's tfr has reached 2.0
Which is below the replacement rate
Most probably India's population will start declining after 2060
Nice logic 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Raising a child now a days is like going to war.
Bro, war is more dignified at least.
Unfortunately, in my country india only few people have recognized the responsibility of giving a child the best life possible.....many still breed like Rats ....and quality of living for the family goes down .....WE MUST RAISE AWARENESS AMONG MASSES ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF HAVING TOO MANY CHILDREN WITH LIMITED INCOME.
100%...shocked to see even in 2023 some imbeciles think breeding is an achievement!
We are also DINK but we spend our time and money on life aim of a better India. We mentor students for a better career. We play new sports every 6 months (recent being swimming, lawn tennis). I teach chess to slum kids free of cost. We plant trees in Aravali region. With extra money, we fund education. On daily basis, we eat millet based roti , vegetables & fruits. We spend money on books (whatever may be the cost) instead of lunatic movies. We adopt climate friendly lifestyle and same reason behind not having a kid. Instead of reading 1-2 kids, we want to improve life of hundreds of kids. We have stopped eating meat, eggs, paneer, cheese etc. all this due to education in India’s top institution, our curiosity for purpose of life, eastern and western philosophy and above all - Acharya Prashant.
Nice.. Acharya Prashant is amazing ..
Pls remember - diversity - when planting trees.. same trees in large numbers can adversely impact the forest
You are the BEST couple
Excellent!
Great job 👍
@@anotherSavingGrace yes, I agree. We focus on local species.
Wow loved article,even after having kids next gen doesn’t guarantee the care at old age is another scary side of coin as world is evolving so fast.
True. Surprised to see Elon musk quoting that reason..there is no guarantee your own kids will take care of you in old age...you might still end up being take care of by other's kids.
Who says.. You raise your kid in such a way that they care for you... Why you think about they doesn't care...
@@natarajanandhi7244lol, that's not how society works.
Kids travel abroad , we can't ask them to stay with us all the time.
Today's traffic , meetings etc they really have no time to come and talk to parents .
Or care for them, even they want to.
And it's dangerous fir parents to stay alone at home, they need to go out, talk to ppl
Loneliness causes many disease.
You body has to be active till u r alive ..
@@kavyak9700 lol i pity you... You people are living life in such a way that you are mend to born only for making money.. That's not life...Are you born only for attending meetings and studying abroad....think about it... Life is not only for you... It's for also future generations... That's the Actual purpose of your existence
Because they are not supposed to, you should not expect the card from kids, let them be.
Don't be fooled into thinking that poor economics and living standards are responsible for the decreasing number of children. If this were the case, humanity would not have survived the Middle Ages. It is the human mentality that has changed.
It's sad to see people becoming so selfish. Children complete our lives and make us less selfish. Also in Hindu sanatan Dharma, continuing procreation is our duty towards the society. My wife stayed home to raise our child while I work. It's hard but worth it. God bless all those parents who sacrifice some of the frivolous stuff.
@@ven41618 It’s better for people who aren’t responsible or terrible people to not have children than for them to do so and end up abusing the child . Having children is only good for people who genuinely want a child or learns to enjoy having one.
I think you forgot the fact that people of that time were not that educated
@@ven41618 having children is also selfish.
@@ven41618 the fact that you say 'worth it' admits that there is a payoff to having a child..so save the BS.
Actually there is nothing to be worried about for DINKS.
1. Tax deductions: Who the hell would like to save penny tax benefit in exchange for massive cost of raising a child ? Govt. should be happy that DINKS are giving more taxes.
2. Assets Transfer: What to make assets for? Just roam the world, enjoy life. If ant thing is left who would bother to care after death.
3. Lonliness: 😃😃😃 a) What is social media for? b) There will be many DINK friends with you in your old age home. c) Who the hell expect their children to take care of them in todays world ? Due to their jobs children are already unable to live with children. In case of death, many children living abroad reach home after cremation of parents.
Yes ikr, these idiots still think we are living in 1930's technology has advanced but they are still stuck in bygone era.
@@AYUSH-yu1we yes no wife, no children. Perfect life. Women waste too much money on cloths, makeup etc. Also they need more emotional support than a child. Its so tiring. Wife free for life. Enjoy the life.

Come to think of it - SINKs are better, right?
Your mother should have been a DINK ..... unfortunately you still on earth😂😂
It's your life your choice. Dont let them fool you. It's actually good to care about you. ❤
@@desibigfoot3874 ROFL. Your sentence reflects you "regret" choosing the parent's life over a carefree life which you and the likes of you secretly desire, do you realise that?
If choosing a childfree life is the "easy way out", I pity people who are forced to live a life raising children by giving up personal freedom out of social pressure, which, as you confessed, is the "hard way"!
Had raising children been such a blissful activity, you would not have envied DINKS or SINKs for their "easy life"!
Those who begrudgingly choose to make more humans in 2023 just out of social pressure must suffer the consequences of their choice silently, instead of being jealous of the life chidlfree people choose - the DINK life.
If parents are "happy" to raise kids and willing to compromise with the life changes that come with it, why this moral policing at DINKS living their best life? !
Proves my point actually.
i dont think people are concerned about "who will take care of them in Old Age " . some people find it extrememly difficult to survive in this economy . so they have to cut costs .
It’s not just about finance. Climate change , freedom and with AI coming up it will be difficult to find Jobs and survive
Where do you live madam. Must have some acres of lands talking about climate 😅.
So if jobs are getting that difficult to find, don’t you think you should raise child as per the new economy and not old one.
@@deepthinker1710yes climate is an issue, I don’t have land but I grew around hills and lakes and none of the ecosystem is unpolluted today. Rains are getting erratic, and reports show that productivity of major crops is going down.

Govts are so funny. They never like their own people. When too many schoolgoers lined up, they promoted pvt schools and slammed people saying Govt cant pay for education for everyone: 'there are too many of you people'. Same is said when Govt medical facilities are cut : 'too many to take care of'. When people decide "enough is enough, cant risk own financial security, wont have kids", Govt again cry, complaining about selfish generation! When you Govts leave people to fend for themselves, smart ones know how to do it.😅
If Indian State governments are giving away freebies like they're doing...Very soon India will go that path...its very hard for a middle class family to educate thier 2 children up to Degree level is big problem for single income family
Instead they should focus on free Quality education and good reasonable health care
It's because of freebies we have so much population artificial intelligence automation advance technology will shrink more jobs coming days people will be jobless dark days are coming

somyadurg - that is honorable of you.
Isn't it selfish to think that your children should take care of you when you are old. What if they want to immigrate to another country? Should they hold their dreams back for their parents? I'd call that messed up.
That being said, every society/religion/civilization has mandated that kids are supposed to take care of their parents in old age.
Nothing selfish regarding that.
I was watching the netflix series Life on planet earth...and it showcased how dinosaurs got wiped off after an event...amd other species which didnt had that much presense evolved ,,thinking in broader sense if human race gets wiped off its not gonna hurt planet earth..earth will survive ,perhaps more species will evolve..we humans need to cherish our evolution,and play more of contributor role instead of consumer....
But look at what the human population has done to Mother Earth. Indian cities r one of the nastiest places on Earth.
India is overpopulated, you don’t need to worry so much about
Me & my partner are a DINK couple. We love it this way.
No one cares just enjoy being sink,pursue your goals,make money have financial freedom, travel world, build your legacy,buy whatever you wish with your money,kids means burden,no freedom,no peace
I’m a “GINK” (pronounced “jync”) Good Income No Kids
And I plan to keep it that way
With 8.1 billion people on the planet NO ONE has to be lonely. I make it a point to reach out to make new connections.
Cost of rasing a child is one of issue. But the main reason is -
1.Terrible work culture in indian cos.. they have zero work life balance
2. Zero support system - no elders or parents who help in raising and looking after kids
3. Cost of living is become unaffordable if only one partner works.. as most couples are not emi free .
Yes the parents who come by home at 9 pm after doing job and traveling for almost 12 hours are expected to sleep cook and take care of their child's home work etc within remaining 12 hours
Today's elders are old to run behind kids.. like old generation by 40 they will have grandchildren, .
But today, thanks to late marriages and late kids.. if we have kids at 30 32 , our parents will be 60 65.
They really can't match today's kids level
Also sorry to say but our elders I don't generalize here have no value system.
Their apathy towards handicapped, racism , or even bitching relatives is not a great value system that kids should take from but unfortunately this is what they have to offer.
In front of kids they talk about somones disability, or talk saying someone is dark , short etc kind of words.
Or talk about their caste ,
Or scolding relatives and say elders have good valuesystem. Not all , only few are able to give kids good value system
@@kavyak9700 absolutely on point and beautiful comment. I want to date you ❤
i dont want to bring in a child in such a bad world
Looking at prices and cost of living in Bharat, DINK seems to be a good idea.
Bharat is still manageable if you don't live in mumbai delhi or bangalore.
😂I believe that forcing someone to have children for the sake of Economy is even worse idea.
100%..especially in a planet crumbling under population+ climate crisis already.
DINK calture is very good for populas country like india
I am single and I've been encouraging DINK life over a decade. I work as NLP coach, trauma healer and Numerlogist. 10 years ago, I strongly felt (based on trend, climate ,economy global circumstances), it's better to not bring another human being on earth. He/She is only going to suffer and blame you for same . Besides, look at GEN Z. Despite being a grown up adult, they're messed up big time. How is going to be further generation. Above all, one needs to justify his/her own existence And do something meaningful, feel and know life closely, discover yourself and x serve your true soul purpose and be content in your last days. We're are obligated under family pressure, society and self satisfaction of our own further generation N "VANSH". Pass on our dreams, expectations on kids and then it's an endless cycle of stress, Bills, mortgage, loans, PTM and soul crushing daily routine.
( ) indeed. Similar thought 🖐️🖐️
Even If you have children they won't stay with you. They have to leave home for education and the job. So choose wisely
Yeah I have seen even I have seen son getting with bad influence drinking and beating his mother for money quite sad
DINK definition: Lets save the earth from humans 😂
True 😂
Isn't that a good thing?
If Elon Musk shares with me 1% of his income I manage to have a child.
But narayanamurti shares with me 01 ✖️ 1 million % of his income
😂
😂
1% of his income would still make you a billionaire. That is more than enough to raise children 😂
I’m a dink, but with a mother to take care of 2 cats n 2 dogs. It’s like having 5 kids 😢😅
So sweet! My views are same..shower your love on the voiceless babies and parents.
Meanwhile, Muslim families, No Infome but dozen kids 😂😂😂😂
I find it difficult to believe that there are ANY "DINKS " in horribly OVER-populated INDIA !! You INDIANS should have had a " one baby " law instituted MANY DECADES ago !!
😂😂
That’s why most of Muslim nations are suffering except those oil merchants.
Meanwhile, a Reddy who hates his own countrymen. Hindu thugs and Muslim thugs tearing India apart as usual.
Nice joke
AI will take some jobs anyways.
Not the economy but the Earth can use DINKS.
People simply don't get enough salaries to support families. Solution to this problem is fair distribution of income. India is also going to suffer from this issue in the future based on today's trends.
Better have no Kid they are big responsibility from their school to tution to clothing plus medical facilities is damn expensive and a big stress sometimes which comes with toll on parents health and other child needs. Which cost hell alot .
I know of a community that would like the entire world go DINK for coming 50yrs but themselves, and their long cherished dream is as good as fulfilled.
As per my memory of early 80's the acronym was "DINKY" it meant double income no kids yet.Their was one more acronym known as" NIMBY" which meant" Not in my backyard "
It's a plant over EVERYTHING for me... that's all i can afford to raise in this generation 😂
Interesting analysis! Keep the good work!!!
in the age of increasing expenses, wat else can u do, one is nota tata ambani who can have ahouse, business,children out of thin air....without falling into extreme debt🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Personally, I resonate with this idea and firmly believe it not only grants financial freedom but also significantly contributes to stress reduction and a more enjoyable life. Kudos to the DINK community for successfully navigating the economy while adopting a mindful approach to life! As someone actively embracing the DINK lifestyle, I can attest to the benefits firsthand. Living stress-free without the responsibilities of parenting has truly transformed my daily experience. Here's to the DINK life, where peace of mind and fulfillment take center stage!

Let’s face it, the earth will probably be unliveable in 50 years so why bring kids into it?
_''Musk kimself has 10 kids that we know of...''_
lol
He wants to populate the world to save dink
Palki Madam, thank you for this information and appreciate your acumen in analysis.
4:03 "that we know of" was hilarious. iykyk🙂
I am a NINK (NO income, no kids). I would like to become a SINK first. Only then I will think about becoming a DINK 😅
Originally coined in the UK years ago as, DINKY. Dual Income, No Kids, Yet.
This are good news, we as humanity are overpopulating the planet, we consume more than what the Earth produces... so if we consciously reduce the growth, it will be better for future generations, who will deal with foot shortages and decent places to live, as the climate catastrophy will turn many places into unbearable places to be ... so dropping the the number of births is very good news ...
Love this piece... greetings from Kenya
Now it is very common in Indian cities too. Govt must encourage people who are earning more than 15L per annum to have kids (Not to people who are simply in to child making business without contributing anything to the economy). There should be Tax deduction on expenses on education, health, etc...
Already Indian population is high, it's better to have DINK, atleast Indian population will go down
U come always with new topic ...thanks palki 😊❤
This is why civilizations dont go to stellar or galactic level
What's your point ? Care to elaborate ?
@@VishalSingh-gh7qz civilizations fall into there own humanitarian and comfort centered ways of thinking and dont prpgress to higher level of devlopment
I am a Dinkwah. It's the best decision in my life. You will only know when you breath freedom of no worrying abt kids. Most people have kids because of social conditioning and what we hear and see in movies and from the community we grow. And someday you will get this question..what happens when there is no kids and the world will end. Trust me we are humans and there is always someone out there craving for baby 💯..
I tell you what happen . What happen to my neighbour he and his wife died alone .
Absolutely! Social conditioning it is.
@@teodorachim4757 So what's the problem of dying alone. Do you need a country to follow after your graveyard. With my neighbors they have 6 kids all living abroad and they died alone as well.
@@andromeda_25 wasn’t literally… 🤦🏼♂️
I am in the same situation as you. It is a true blessing not to have kids. So much freedom, time and money. People will argue that having a kid is good and all blah blah.... but I know what gives me happiness and that's what really matters.
India needs billion dink.
I agree.
Please also mention the money numbers in INR. How is cost of raising child in USD is relevant to middle income families. Also, please talk about differences in expense categories for raising child. In India a middle income family would spend significantly bigger portion of their income on child's education (upt to the age of 18) due to preference of private schools over public schools.
I work at a nurisng home in USA and I saw the end of life of dinks. For many, No one to come see or no one to claim the body after death.
So?
Tax breaks? What tax breaks. They are limited to section 80C which is anyways being phased out in the new tax regime.
Pet n plants r much better choices n more preferably hassle free😊😊😊
Palki Sharma ma'am's usage of sentences >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Goes to show that her and her team dig deep when it come to researching. Always a delight listening to her.
Americans have money and a lot of people. Good for the dinks
Why cannot we create DINWOK = Double Income with Orphan Kid? Kid will get family and balance for society.
Financial burden
@@chilpeeps Government should provide incentives to support these kids. This way win win for couple, kid and society
@@mybestcollectionthey don’t want a kid this was the first rule then why would they adopt
avg cost of raising child in India is $160000 !!?? That's 1.3 Cr !!
total with graduate student fees will come to that yes. Engineering currently is already 15-20 lkhs in a decent (not great) college.. this is not management seat either. So our kids who will go to these colleges in 10-15 yrs will have crazy fees
Till college yes . Our days are gone when we could have quality education in government schools with very few money.
Heard this acronym way back in 2007 and loved the idea
Good philosophy. Pass it on to the next generation
Robots?
NIMK - no income multiple kids... You know which religion
Peacefull community
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm a SINK. Single individual no kids
God bless you with kids .don't worry about infirtility 😂😂😂😂
Sad people thinks having kids to take care when parents get older.
Government should stop welfare based economy and run services based economy. You work well, we ensure your security. Growth is individual responsibility and security is govt responsibility. You maintain roads well. We will ensure your quality governance. Citizen and government should have equal responsibilities.
Rich and poor are result of self management now. A rich can turn poor in 30 days..but a poor takes 30 yrs to be rich. So thats not government duty. Govt duty is to provide quality governance and security. You be a good citizen we will be a good government for you. Thats mutual cooperation in democracy.
Only DINKS can sleep
Peacefully and
Rest at ease .
Dink is the Future!
Former donkey 🫏 becomes dinker
Don’t plan on having kids because the economy continues to disagree with them, if the governments truly cared they would make it a lucrative endeavor that would be crazy to ignore.
Palki on Elon was terreffic! Liked it much! 🤝
Will you marry me? ❤
You always hear about over population and how it's a problem. You decide to not have kids and that's also a problem 😂
If only we could find women like this in India especially in arranged marriage settings. The parents would always expect kids otherwise they would think we are impotent or something😂😂.
@shipra350 I don't want to prove anything to anyone. It's the in laws or relatives who assume that.
@shipra350 This has been very normal in every society. Kids have always been considered a part of the normal household.
And having kids has always been a responsibility of the parents. Everywhere.
Just became a SINK from a NINK this week 😅
Hoping to go DINK in next 5 years and then SI1K the following year.
Its the design less human more easy to control
Population decrease isn't necessarily a bad thing. There will be an excess of aging population at a particular point, but other than that, it's good if the overall global population decreases over the next century. 10 billion is like the maximum which this earth can handle, and if the population keeps increasing, we'll go from 8 billion to 10 billion very quickly. So people who don't wish to parent kids or are too poor to afford will be doing a favour by not reproducing.
True. Earth's resources are finite and dwindling rapidly thanks to excess consumption (eg. Fast fashion) and climate change.
I really don’t think many of us would survive past 50 so why worry about ageing population I mean you can d!e whenever you want besides I really don’t see future kids will even take care of their parents so all that nonsense and sacrifices for exactly what
India 🇮🇳 yes
We know which community will produce kids even though they are poor, can't raise a responsible kids , and even though they can't afford.
Their purpose is only one thing to please their God by any means
How are you going to stop muslims from expanding, they believe in producing as number of kids possible for Dar ul Islam to goto Jannath as per their book...Its inevitable that human population keeps exploding...
I never believed in DINK lifestyle... But as I grew up and observed "how absolutely miserably terrible my colleagues life with kids is", it really turning me off from having kids.
Some think kids bring joy... Well my life with my wife is pretty content and joyous. I dunno what value having a kid will add.
Pay for their tuition, constantly pay attention to them, ignore each other as a couple, have the ungrateful SOBs whine about everything, have no personal space, your career is in pooper, you cant binge-watch shows or moves you like, forced to go to their stupid recitals/school programs, etc etc.
I can go on and on and on....
Exactly, it's better to be SINKNW than being DINK.
You spoke my mind...it's about what adds substantial value to your existing life.
Children don’t necessarily take care of you in your old age. This is becoming more true.
There must be a DINK tax and a heavier NIMK ( NO INCOME MORE KIDS ) tax
Why a tax on DINK? For what?
You do you, not every child will take care of their parrent, not every husband / wife will take care you, not every couple / families doesn't feel lonely, but 1 thing for sure, single / DINKER most likely have financial freedom =)
Dink and loving it. Think twice before procreating 😅
My wife and I are DINKS but it wasn’t our choice. We tried to have children but were unsuccessful. So what we would have spent on children we save instead.
Dinks here at a household tax rate of 35%. Life is great, I spoil my niece, will never have kids, surgically ensured. Speaking a month in Taiwan soon and a few weeks in Poland. No way I’d have this life if we had bred.
