Women Who Stay Single and Don’t Have Kids Are Getting Richer
Forgoing marriage and parenthood has a bigger payoff for American women than men, according to new research.

Ashley Marrero isn’t married and doesn’t have kids. And she has a message for women just like her: You can still have it all.
The 43-year-old feels a deep sense of satisfaction from her job as a sales representative for a maker of medical devices, which brings her into contact with patients. And she relishes all of the lifestyle and financial freedoms that come with being a single, child-free woman in a well-paying job. That includes an apartment in New York City, a new beach house on the Jersey Shore, and frequent travel for pleasure as well as work.
“I love my life and feel very fulfilled,” says Marrero, who froze her eggs in 2018 to keep her options open. “I love children, and I love all my friends’ children. But I don’t know if I would love my life with children.”
