[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think as one of the PPs said getting married on a proper timeline where you are young enough to have a decent sized family and to a rich enough guy to be able to afford it is an accomplishment.

Getting married at 35 to a mediocre poor guy just to finally pop out a kid is not the same.

I think I am the PP you are referring to. I made a point to say it wasn't really an accomplishment, but it was something people want very badly and people who for whatever reason don't manage it could end up being very disappointed and having to reevaluate the vision they have for the rest of their life.

I feel pretty strongly that this is a situation that a lot of great men and women can find themselves in and that a fair amount of this is luck. [/quote]

I agree with you. I am one of those you speak of. Always wanted 3 kids and a certain kind of life by x age. As you know, there is a very short window of time in which many things must align in order for this to happen.

- You must be ready and KNOW you want marriage early; 21-25
- You must be emotionally mature enough to put your best foot forward and weed out the loser guys from the few good ones
- You must be lucky enough to find a guy who also wants to marry early AND has the financial means to afford it
- You must not have fertility issues

If all this works out you can end up in a good place.
