The term refers to a certain type of couple where both partners have a full time, and usually decent paying, job. The term grew in popularity during 2022/23 thanks to "DINK influencers" getting a lot of views on TikTok.
- So, do you and your partner have any kids?
- No, for the moment we are choosing to stay DINKS, so we can have more money and time to travel and explore the world.
Is an acronym for Dual Income No Kids. An initially self-complimentary term used by couples (married or unmarried) of child-rearing age; who receive sizeable incomes from their respective employers. Instead of sacrificing their time and money on a new generation, they flaunt their ability to live like eternal adolescents..
Mary (sipping a Mimosa): Joe and I are dinks! We were at Le Bain until 5am. We don't have to worry about bringing kids to school in the morning and can sleep in because Sunday brunch runs late!
Mary (in her 70's in hospice): I'm a Sink...Joe died last year, and I have nobody to visit me. All of my money and properties will end up in probate, and get dispersed to different government entities.
They go married and don’t want kids because “kids are too high maintenance and are another form of tax” on their money. They got that dink energy in them.
