Abstract

In recent years the phenomenon of "dinks" couples has been very frequent, because with the high personal projections and professional challenges, the issue of motherhood is increasingly postponed and likewise a profound change in the dynamics of purchase and consumption. Based on this, the objective of the project focused on understanding the phenomenon of the postponement of motherhood based on the lifestyles that characterize dinks couples in the different locations of the city of Bogotá. The methodology was qualitative, through the ethnographic and hermeneutical approach, being five (5) the dinks couples studied, through an intentional demonstration, using semistructured interviews, investigating aspects such as the meaning of the dinks couples, phenomenon of the postponement of motherhood, lifestyle and consumption habits as a couple. The results obtained evidence the importance of money management not only to cover basic expenses, but also to enjoy sumptuous expenses, being the key aspirational component in overcoming couples, so not having children would be an impediment to achieving their goals.
