That’s why my wife and I have adopted a strategy of living on only one of our incomes, and saving and investing the other. I realize we are in a position to do so in that we are both career focused and make enough together that we can afford to do so. If we were working minimum wage jobs, this wouldn’t work. But I imagine that’s the case for a lot of folks on this forum. Certainly many are single, but for those that aren’t, it’s lkkely true. What this has enabled us to do is both work for a series of startups. Also, we aren’t interested in kids, but it leaves us with the option if things change. Or, god forbid, one of us were to get sick or be injured. Living to the hilt as a DINK sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
