[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am very future-oriented and decided to get pregnant at 27 because I wanted to space my children apart, with time for a third if I wanted, and not feel pressured to work into my 60s to pay for college.

So, I got married at 27, immediately got pregnant, and had a kid 11 months later. People were sort of shocked that I had kids so "young" but they weren't thinking long term, IMO. I was educated, making 6 figures (as was my husband) and knew what I wanted. People really shouldn't try to advise others, either way, about when to have kids because we all have different priorities. [/quote]

Most people aren’t making 6 figures at that age. What industry are you in? That kind of salary is the exception for someone just s few years out of college. [/quote]

Lots of people in law, consulting, or finance make that much in their late twenties. Especially in major metro areas. It’s not uncommon. [/quote]

Yeah, right. And you're not making that much and working 9 to 5.[/quote]

Keep your pants on Karen
. No one said anything about hours worked...the point is that it’s not uncommon to make six figures in your late 20s. it’s also not uncommon to work way more than 40 hours a week for less than six figures. Hello trendy non profit, how do you do![/quote]
