[quote=Anonymous][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]

You have three friends who had their first babies in their 40’s and then never worked outside the home again?  And this was their plan when they started dating their husbands?  [/quote]
