I am a 52 y/o child free man (reddit refugee), married to a 42 y/o child free woman. We are retiring in the next 3-4 years.

Happy to talk to any other child free people or answer questions about a child free lifestyle.

Let’s build up this community. ☺

    37yo with an older partner. Never desired kids, and if I ever do, I will be adopting because I don’t need to add my genes to the pool. I’m a teacher, so I raise a lot of kids 8am-3pm and that’s enough for me! People think I don’t like kids, but it’s kind of like goats - they are so cute! I love hanging out with them for a bi! No, I don’t want to take one home, thanks!

    I recently applied for a promotion at work that would bump up my pay by about 50%. Would be a game changer for me.

    I’m a 28m and married as well.

    Any advice on how to retire that early? It seems like were barely able to keep our heads above water some days.

    hi there!

    i am 27/nb, married for over 5 years to my partner (28). i got permanently sterilized last year and i love it. we aren’t well off by any means, but we’re comfortable enough, have a house, and have the time to do what we want without being tied down by a kid.

    we are both in the field of IT, so hoping to work our way up and start making real money in a handful of years. we would like to move to a different country as well (currently we are in the US). we love the freedom of the DINK life!
