[quote=Anonymous]I was 29 and 31 when I had my kids (I live in DC). We had been married about 4 years and had bought a house. The timing was perfect for us. I still had lots of energy when my kids were young and I became an empty nester at 50. I agree with the PP about waiting and fertility being an issue. It has happened to lots of my friends. But, you can't always control life and I think finances should be a major consideration . You need to have enough money that you aren't stressed all the time about while you're raising kids. Daycare etc. is expensive when they're little and in my experience things don't get less expensive as time goes on if you're paying for camps and saving for college. Notice I'm not saying you need a big house or fancy things. But, you do need enough not to be stressed. Kids pick up on that big time. [/quote]
