[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Handy thought about this, but when I list people from my single days, my friends in the 2000s/early 2010 all married in order of richness. The richest people got married the earliest. I think having a background of wealth makes it easier to settle down because you can afford certain things earlier and don’t have as much pressure to establish your career as people with less.[/quote]

That's possible.  I will also note OP mentioned that a lot of these people are private school grads -- it's possible these are the high school sweethearts who lasted through college or people who have known each other a long time socially (longer than college anyway) because they're all moving in the same type of rich person circles.  I saw a similar trend of just-after-college (and sometimes high school) pregnancies and marriages in the small town I grew up in among people who hadn't left the area or didn't want to, so I think maybe it also has to do with people who have/anticipate a limited circle of "peers" feeling confident in committing to their choices sooner.

Some people are naturally ready to settle down sooner, too -- while none of my friends married before 25/26, I'd say about half of us were considering our partners in the light of "could I marry and start a family with them?" by 23 and half were in the "wtf I'm still a kid and dating is for fun" mindset until 27 or 28.[/quote]
