| It seems no one in their 20's is interested in commitment. What's your experience? |

| I don’t understand why young people don’t understand how much easier life is with a partner to share financial burdens (for one thing) -plus, it is so much harder to find a non-damaged, nonn-desperate, relationship-oriented person the longer you wait. Mid to late 20s seems to be the sweet spot for long term, happy/compatible marriages in my experience. |

| In my 30s and my cousins in their late 20s are getting engaged to partners they have been dating since early to mid 20s. Most wanted to finish graduate/law/medical school first and get settled in their new careers. 27/28 for engagement and 29/30 for marriage seems to be around the average. They are UMC in major cities on either coast. Their perception is the only people in their cohort getting married in the early to mid 20s range are from small towns, midwest, southern states, or come from religious backgrounds. |

| As a Millennial, I have observed Zoomers actually want to get married and start having kids younger than we did. |

| I see rich kids get married after undergrad but holding on to having kids until after finishing grad/professional schools. Some med students have kids during med school to avoid putting kids off until finishing residency but most kids happen during or after residency. |

| There is no right time for getting engaged, married or pregnant. Studies and career are always demanding your time, find time to live your life, don't sideline living. |

| Right time is when you have your right person and you decide to build a life together. |

| Ideal time to marry is after retirement because that's pretty much is the only time you don't have a conflict between life and study/career. |
