Absofragginlutely.
In the childfree community, "childless" indicates that you want to have children at some point, but something is standing in your way - you don't have a husband/wife/committed partner yet, or you want to get your finances in order before having children, or you're attempting IVF or IUI and haven't succeeded yet, or you want to adopt a child but there's a holdup in the process, etc. "Childfree" means "I don't want children, not now, not ever."
As for me, I am quite content with my husband and my cat.
