[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think early 30s. It gives you your entire 20s to have fun, travel, learn things, settle, build finances.

Having kids early and counting on doing all the fun things when they start their own lives away from home is a gamble. You don’t know what your health or your spouses health will be like then.

Early 30s give your best opportunities at both ends of having kids.  Young enough to be energetic and (hopefully) still in good health after they are gone to do whatever you’ve always wanted to do.

How do you have fun, travel, learn things and build finances in your 20s at the same time?     These women who claim they had large incomes by 30 were not traveling and having fun.  The early 20s  is school related and can be a fun time but the late 20s you can go have fun or start working.  [/quote]

I had fun, traveled, went to grad school and got a high paying job in my twenties. I got engaged at 27, got married at 29, got pregnant and had my first child at age 30.

I didn’t really build finances but I had a six figure income and married an ambitious smart guy. He now earns a seven figure income and I stay home with our three kids. I was definitely a spender and not a saver but I earned my own money. Thankfully DH earns enough for us to save and spend.[/quote]
