[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I take issue with this post. Your 20s are for getting to know yourself, establish your career.[/quote]

I think love and romance are just as important as "establishing a career." Sometimes I think the DC mindset is seriously f*cked. There's more to life than your resume![/quote]

I think you should establish yourself careerwise and financially before deciding you've found the right person to marry and procreate with.  [b]Love and romance can wait. I met my husband at 27[/b]; it's not like I put it off forever.[/quote]

This made me smile :) I didn't meet my husband until I was 38! I had a very established career and even scaled down to a lower paying job with far less travel and fewer hours. I have no regrets that I didn't get married until I was 40. In any case, you cannot plan on anything. You may find your husband at 15. You may not find him until you're 55. Just be sure it's the right guy. I totally get where the OP is coming from and actually agree with her. But I also agree with you in that establishing yourself careerwise and financially is also important when you are in your 20s. As my mother told me, "A woman should always have a way to support herself (and her children) financially, regardless of who she marries. Anything can happen -- he could leave you. He could get hit by a bus. He could become unable to work." Even though I'm a mostly SAHM now who freelances, I know that I have the skills and experience to go back to FT work when it is time to or if it becomes necessary financially while my kids are still young. In any case, you can't really plan for love and romance. But you can have control of your career and financial future.
