[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.

[b]How do you have fun, travel, learn things and build finances in your 20s at the same time? [/b]    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]

DP here. We bought our first home at 25 before our first was born at 26. Traded up to our current/long term house at 31. Yes our traveling was curtailed somewhat with babies and toddlers (by choice) but by ES age we were back to fun travels again. No, I didn't build up a high income before I left to SAH, but I was a teacher so a high income was never going to happen for me anyway. [/quote]
