[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a man in his 40’s?  I mean, unless you are looking to marry someone much younger than yourself, you aren’t really looking to support a family anymore.  I would say that as long as you make more than you spend and aren’t still hustling with seasonal or part time jobs, you are fine.  [/quote]

I often wonder who is reading these boards. A lot of people have first children around age 40. Most of my female friends had their first children at 40 or 41 about eight years ago. Around age 40 a man should expect to be still be raising a family if he hasn’t been married yet for sure. My second child was born eight years ago and my ex-husband was 41. But like I said I know plenty of people that had first children around age 40. This is not the 1990s.[/quote]

The women I know who are looking to start a family in their forties are pretty career focused and aren’t really looking for a good provider.  They wouldn’t care what OP’s income is other than wanting it to match their own. [/quote]

Again...not true. Three of my friends who had 1st kids at 40 are stay-at-home moms. They were ready to stop working and they have not worked since. If a woman wants a baby, finances matter.[/quote]
