[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Yale '02 and Wharton '07. None of my peers were married before 30.[/quote]

You either don’t have friends or you’re lying about attending either of these colleges. Probably both.[/quote]

Ivy League 06. There were two waves of marriage. The ones that married immediately out of school and then after grad school. Then a bunch of single people. The ones that married immediately out of school are still together and their kids are grown and I am jealous. [/quote]

It is very possible for someone to go through Yale and not have a single friend who didn't marry until their 30s. Such cliques typically migrated to NYC or SF etc right after graduation and took a different path into adulthood, so she likely doesn't realize plenty of her classmates did in fact get married in their 20s. Whole cohorts got married within a year or two of grad/professional schools, which typically takes you into the late 20s. Then we have plenty of grads from South Asian / East Asian backgrounds who also almost always got married in their 20s.

There is a distinct economic advantage to marrying in your 20s. Double the HHI, more likely to buy houses earlier, build up retirement savings faster. [/quote]

There are also always a few grad students who are already married.

DH is a physician and there were several students who were married in med school or residency. It is a bold statement to say no one was married before 30.

I got married right before 30. I met Dh in grad school and we got engaged when he was a resident.[/quote]
