[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the ideal age to be an empty nester, and what age will you be one?

My children will be [b]18/20 when I am 42[/b]. I already have an empty home while [b]they are at their father's home[/b], I have fun with friends while they are gone. 42 seems a bit young to have grown children, but I'm also [b]hoping I'll have money to travel by the[/b]n and have enough energy to be adventurous. I'm currently 30.[/quote]

The ideal age to be an empty nester is when your kids are successfully finished all their education debt-free (undergrad, grad, professional school),  launched in a career, (perhaps even married), have some nest egg saved and are making good money.

I have no desire to be an empty nester in the American sense. Hopefully, my home remains a family home for my kids and extended family for as long as it can.   The things that people look forward to at retirement - having leisure time. travel, having friends, socializing - all of these things have happened for us from the time we got married. Our adventures included our children and we enjoyed it. [/quote
