Being older and married without kids is only marginally better, from the advertisers perspective, oddly enough.

My sweetie and I have all the toasters and tvs and gadgets we need, and are no longer looking to validate our existence to others by buying new ... shit.

With no kids to drive the urge to spend, the advertisers just can't get traction with us. And, if the advertisers aren't talking to you, then you don't exist.
