DINK couple face furious backlash for boasting about the perks of their child-free lifestyle – as they’re branded ‘sad losers’ by critics

A double-income, child-free couple – known as 'DINKs' – faces backlash after bragging about all the things they can do because they don't have children.

Lilly Anne, 21, and her husband Evan, 21, from Utah, are part of the DINK community, which is filled with romantic couples who haven't had children.

The lovebirds — who have been together since they were 16 — took to TikTok to brag about their baby-free lifestyle, which involves spending money on Costco trips and turning every night into date night.

And while they may enjoy their carefree lives, people on the internet have lambasted them for flaunting the benefits of not having children – with many users labeling them as 'jerks'.

The viral clip, which has been viewed more than 3.2 million times to date, was captioned: “Living the best life, the DINK life.”

In the video, the duo took turns boasting about the benefits of being childfree.

Lilly said: 'We are DINKs, we get asked every day when we plan to have children.'

Evan replied, “We're DINKs, of course we go out to dinner every night after work. '

Then his wife bragged that he never had to ask for “financial help” or find a babysitter.

“We're DINKs, we go to Costco and buy all the snacks we want,” Evan added.

The 21-year-olds noted that they loved being able to spend their money on themselves and not on a “child.”

Meanwhile, Evan bragged that he could attend every football game and play golf as long as he wanted.

At the end of the video, Lilly said, “We are DINKs, we will be asked at every family event what we do with our lives.”

People on the internet flooded the comments section expressing their anger towards the couple.

One person said: 'Weird flex.'

Another user wrote, “It's weird that they list things you can literally do when you have a kid lmao.”

Someone else wrote: 'Shocks.'

“Y'all sound like the losers who didn't get invited to the party and act like they don't want to go,” someone else commented.

“You can still do all that with kids,” someone else added.

“Poor, sad life,” someone else wrote.

Someone else said: 'This seems like such a sad lifestyle.'

However, other people defended the couple and said they wished they were living their lives.

One person said: 'I need it.'

Another person said: 'I'm so excited about this.'

“I love this,” someone else added.

One user added: 'Gosh I wish I was you.'

The term 'DINK' – meaning 'double income, no kids' – has gone viral on the video-sharing app as more and more couples choose not to have babies.

The phrase dates back to 1987 and was first coined by the Los Angeles Times, when researchers noted that stagnant incomes were keeping aspiring parents from starting a family.

Birth rates in America fell to a record low in the year 2020 due to the ongoing unrest over the coronavirus pandemic.

Only 3.4 million babies were born, a drop of 4 percent from the previous year and the lowest number of children born since 1979.

A 2021 Pew Research Center survey found that 44 percent of non-parents ages 18 to 49 said they were not at all or not very likely to ever have children — an increase of 7 percent since 2018.

Couples cited financial concerns as a reason to postpone the decision.

Since then, birth rates have increased slightly, by 0.9 percent in 2021 and by the same amount in 2022.

But rising inflation and childcare costs – which last year saw the biggest annual increase since 1991 – are expected to deter more and more couples from having a child.
