> DINKs are also more likely than dual-income couples with kids to be college graduates...
This is the premise of Idiocracy.
I can't believe I have to say this, but Idiocracy is a fictional movie.
You didn't have to say it.
SINK is more interesting than DINK. In a SINK household, the individual who doesn’t earn money can make an impact in the world of art, community service, research, the possibilities are endless. Without the tethers of employment.
Employed people can do that too. I suspect that people who are employed have higher impact on their non-work goals because they've learned to structure their time and prioritize more ruthlessly than people who don't have that pressure.
Sure, but You have way more hours in the day when you don’t have a job. If your partner has one, you have more degrees of freedom.
I really don't think hours in the day matters much. You can always make time for a priority, unless you have kids. But I've never seen people without a job dig in and create change, I think maybe the personalities who are okay with not working often don't have that drive?
Spending two hours a day on something is huge. It's the habit that matters a lot more than the total hours.
