They travel the world, sleep in on weekends, and laugh over spontaneous lunches — and they’re not apologizing for it.
For Taylor and Justin Vasu, both in their late 20s from California, life without children isn’t empty — it’s full. The couple, who proudly call themselves DINKs (dual income, no kids), say their decision comes down to peace, passion, and preparation. “People tell us, ‘Your life will be over once you have kids,’” Taylor shared. “I don’t want to be miserable just because someone else chose that path.”
They take 12 vacations a year, enjoy “wild” intimacy four times a week, and can book a trip on a whim. For now, they’d rather save for a home than diapers. “We lost two years to Covid,” Taylor said. “Now that the world’s open, we want to live.”
But their story isn’t about rejecting family — it’s about timing. “When we do have children,” she added, “we want to be ready — emotionally, financially, and as partners.”
Maybe that’s the quiet truth many won’t say out loud: sometimes, choosing later means building a stronger forever.
