Whether you have kids, don’t have kids, or are still figuring it out, the life you choose deserves a real financial plan behind it.

This week we are sitting down with Erika and Kristen, the best-friend duo behind the DINKY Podcast. DINK stands for Dual Income, No Kids. These two have built a thriving community around what it actually looks like to choose this life on purpose. Erika comes from a background in social media and comedy and now runs her own freelance business while co-hosting the podcast full time. Kristen spent years in tech before making the bold move to relocate to Dublin, Ireland, where she is in business school part time, building a side business, and working on an invention she is genuinely excited about. The DINKY Podcast launched about four years ago, right as Roe v. Wade was overturned, and it has grown into a bold, funny, and politically engaged conversation about reproductive rights, financial freedom, chosen family, and the real cost of the life society tells us we should want.

Erika and Kristen bring live poll data from thousands of women, real talk about what financial freedom actually feels like when you are building it on your own terms, and some of the most refreshingly honest takes on money, marriage, and end-of-life planning we have ever had on this show. From the $6,000 a month Seattle daycare reality check that started it all to why 77% of women said they still would not want kids even with more money, this one is packed. We also get into retiring as you go, bodily autonomy in a post-Roe world, chosen family, and why having a written end-of-life plan is not optional regardless of whether you have children.

Erika and Kristen's reminder is this: the women who came before us did not get to choose. We do, and that is worth respecting with intentional decision making.
