You know you're deep in DINK life when you start referring to your guest bedroom as your "hobby sanctuary."

"Have you tried positive reinforcement with organic treats?"

DINKs retirement planning is just them calculating how many more wine clubs they can join.

Dinks at dinner parties are easy to spot - they're the ones humble-bragging about their spontaneous trip to Tuscany

But hey, at least someone's living responsibly.
